About Laura
Laura Amor is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes in straightforward, practical ways. Laura aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be heard and begin finding solutions.
Her work is solution-focused but thoughtful. She listens first, then builds a plan based on each person's needs.
Background and approach
That plan can include talk-based strategies, practical coping skills, and steps to improve relationships and daily routines. Sessions are paced to match what someone can handle right now. Laura draws on several approaches to guide her work.
She uses client-centered methods to make room for a person's experience. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thinking and change it. Emotionally-focused techniques address how feelings show up in close relationships.
She also brings mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives when those fit the situation. Mindfulness helps with stress and grounding. Psychodynamic work can uncover patterns rooted in past experiences that affect current choices.
Across all of this, Laura emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and clear communication. She tailors the conversations and the plan to what each person specifically needs. The goal is steady progress toward a more manageable, more meaningful life.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Laura blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to meet everyday concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective, helping them feel heard and guiding the conversation at their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.She also uses emotionally-focused therapy when relationship patterns are central. EFT looks at how emotions shape interactions and helps people recognize and shift those patterns to build more stable connections. Together these approaches address both immediate coping and deeper relational or emotional issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, trial methods, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what feels useful and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or when a lighter connection is preferred. Text and chat options are useful for short check-ins, brief problem-solving, or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These choices let people fit therapy into real life and try different ways of working to find what helps most.
