About Laura

Laura Premo is a licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of experience based in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and major life changes. Parents and caregivers often seek support when transitions feel overwhelming.

Her approach is practical and straightforward - she listens, offers tools, and sets shared goals. Laura creates a calm space for clients to talk through worries without judgment. She tailors her methods to each person rather than using one fixed style.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that build confidence and reduce daily stress. Practical strategies and clear, focused conversations are her hallmark. Her work includes support for communication problems, control issues, and life transitions like divorce and pregnancy.

She also addresses workplace stress, money worries, and feelings of isolation. Panic attacks, social anxiety, and concerns about purpose are other areas she commonly addresses. Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each client’s needs.

She emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist set goals together and track progress. The tone in sessions is encouraging and solution-focused, with room to process past experiences when helpful. Practicalities are part of her process: sessions are offered through multiple online formats, and treatment plans reflect each person’s schedule and priorities.

People who want steady progress with clear steps and an encouraging guide may find her style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Laura uses evidence-based techniques tailored to each person. One common approach focuses on practical skills training to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms by teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies. These skills are helpful when quick tools are needed for daily life and sudden stress.

Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and goal setting to address workplace stress, money worries, and career decisions. This method breaks larger issues into concrete steps and helps people track progress toward measurable outcomes.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit the situation. Adjustments are made along the way so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions suit those on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging provides shorter, real-time check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy family schedules and changing routines.
