About Laura
Laura Amor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship trouble, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and aims to make the first steps feel safer and more manageable.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques may be used to identify unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas can guide deeper conversations about connection and emotions.
Laura also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice and tolerate difficult feelings in the moment. Psychodynamic ideas may be explored to better understand long-standing patterns that keep surfacing. Sessions blend short-term coping strategies with attention to longer-term change.
She has worked across many life concerns including aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and end-of-life counseling. Laura supports people dealing with shame, guilt, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
The process begins with a respectful conversation and a tailored plan. She aims to help people build skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and find more calm in daily life. The focus is on what will most help each person move forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring the plan to each person's goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with skill-building and mindfulness and later exploring deeper emotional patterns if that feels helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or between commitments. They can also let people choose whether to use video or a simpler connection based on what works best for them. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and the focus remains on practical tools and steady, collaborative progress.
