About Laura
Laura Amor is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes.
Clients can expect direct, practical conversation. Laura focuses on clear steps to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses straightforward exercises and talks through ways to try new responses in daily life.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) informs how she and a client spot thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationship feelings and attachment themes are central. Client-Centered Therapy guides a respectful, person-focused tone in sessions.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people slow down and notice what is happening in the moment. Psychodynamic ideas may be brought in to look at longer-standing patterns from earlier relationships that keep repeating.
Sessions are organized around the concerns a person brings. Laura helps set short-term goals and practical homework to try between meetings. She prefers clear language, simple tools, and steady review of what is and is not working.
People who want measured, structured support for everyday problems usually do best with her style. She practices in New York and offers services in English. For session options, users should confirm current formats before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises and short 'homework' tasks to try between appointments, which adapt well to remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, giving space for people to set their own goals and pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy targets patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change interaction cycles that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a small CBT exercise for a few sessions and then shifting emphasis if different work would be more useful.
The therapist's original profile did not list specific online session formats. Before booking, confirm which formats are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also allow work that focuses on thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns to continue when an in-person meeting is not practical.
