About Laura
Laura Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 22 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress, codependency, forgiveness, and issues around loneliness and self-worth. Laura speaks English and practices from a perspective that centers the client's own knowledge of their life.
Laura approaches sessions as a practical collaboration. She listens for what already helps a person and builds on those strengths. Conversations in the room tend to focus on clear, achievable steps rather than abstract theory. She encourages clients to name what matters most when making decisions about work, relationships, or health.
In sessions she addresses patterns that keep people feeling stuck, such as guilt, shame, or codependent behavior. She offers space to talk through addiction and recovery-related concerns, including drug and alcohol issues. She also supports people coping with caregiver strain and the emotional fallout of big life transitions.
Her style centers on straightforward reflection and problem-focused conversation. Clients can expect practical strategies to manage panic, reduce anxiety, and handle depressive episodes alongside exploration of values like life purpose and self-respect. Laura helps people experiment with small changes and notice what shifts over time.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Laura describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate into practical steps. Cognitive-based strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and prevent panic attacks. Behavioral techniques concentrate on changing patterns of avoidance or harmful coping, such as steps to manage cravings in substance use concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura collaborates with each person to choose which techniques to try based on their goals, needs, and day-to-day realities. She frames treatment as an ongoing experiment where methods are adjusted if they do not fit the client's situation or preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone choose not to be on camera or use audio-only when that better suits a specific moment. A therapist and client will agree on a workable rhythm and format that fits the client's life and goals.
