About Laura

Laura Singerman is a New York licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction. She works to create a calm space where clients can speak honestly about what they’re feeling. Laura emphasizes practical steps and steady support to help people start making changes they want in life.

She brings five years of professional experience to her practice. Sessions are aimed at identifying what is getting in the way and trying small, doable strategies to ease symptoms and increase confidence.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and centered on each person’s priorities rather than on jargon. Her background includes work with a range of concerns such as trauma and grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and mood disorders. Laura also addresses areas like body image, communication problems, impulsivity, and isolation when they come up in therapy.

She approaches each topic with attention to how it affects day-to-day functioning. Laura follows evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to match what feels most helpful for each person. She supports people through life transitions, career stress, and struggles related to identity, including LGBT issues.

The aim is to help clients build skills they can use outside sessions. Sessions are offered in English and Laura accepts international clients. People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical focus on next steps as they work toward clearer goals and healthier routines.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Laura uses evidence-based techniques that are practical and adaptable to remote sessions. One approach focuses on building concrete coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelming feelings. This helps when symptoms interfere with daily routines or sleep.

Another approach targets mood and motivation by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and tracking progress. That method is useful for depression, low self-esteem, and challenges with focus or impulsivity because it creates clear, achievable tasks to practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Together they discuss what feels helpful and adjust techniques as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options help people fit sessions into busy schedules, keep regular contact when life is chaotic, and continue work even when travel or relocation occurs. Remote formats make it easier to practice skills in real-life settings with therapist support.
