About Laurel
Laurel Dietterle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and relationship or family problems.

Laurel begins by asking what brought someone to therapy and what would make the work meaningful. She and the client identify immediate concerns and practical goals. Sessions often focus on building stronger self-regard, improving how a person communicates, and noticing patterns that get in the way of desired change.

Laurel uses these approaches to help people notice thoughts and behaviors, learn emotion regulation skills, and look at internal parts that influence choices and feelings.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She prioritizes clear goals and skills people can use between sessions. Therapy can involve practice exercises, communication work, and reflection on past patterns that still affect current life.

How Laurel Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Laurel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves identifying patterns, testing beliefs against real situations, and practicing small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills-based work. DBT offers practical techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when stress is high. These skills can help when relationships and stress feel overwhelming.
Internal Family Systems is another approach she uses to look at internal parts that influence choices and emotions. IFS involves naming and listening to different inner voices so people can respond to themselves with more clarity and less self-criticism.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Laurel collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as people try skills and reflect on what helps.
