About Laura
Laura Miller is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of practice in New York. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She also works with those coping with addiction and relationship struggles, including panic disorder and panic attacks. Laura speaks English and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone taking it.
Laura centers sessions on each person's strengths and lived story. She treats the client as the expert on their life and helps them build on what already works. Conversations tend to be practical and grounded, with attention to skills you can use between meetings.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across common mental health concerns. Over two decades she has guided people through problems such as codependency, caregiver stress, substance use, guilt, and isolation. That experience shapes a direct, steady approach to day-to-day struggles.
In sessions Laura helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and then tries out new coping options. She supports exploration of life purpose, self‑regard, forgiveness, and the pressures men and women face. Work with panic often focuses on immediate strategies to manage symptoms and on longer-term tools to reduce their hold.
Laura encourages a collaborative plan tailored to each person. She notes that beginning therapy can feel hard and says taking that step is meaningful. Prospective clients start by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and real-life changes. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and panic symptoms, such as breathing work and grounding strategies that help reduce intense moments and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach focuses on behavioral changes and habit shifts to address addiction and codependency, offering step-by-step practices to replace unhelpful patterns with healthier routines.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what works in real life.
Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It can make it easier to keep regular sessions around work, caregiving, or school commitments. If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking so they match your needs and daily routine.
