About Laura

Laura Costello is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with grief, addiction, or trauma. She also supports those dealing with sleep or eating problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar challenges, and attention-related difficulties.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client. Laura aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name their concerns and talk through feelings.

Background and approach

She works at the client’s pace and helps set practical steps to try between sessions. Her approach emphasizes collaborative problem solving. Laura listens to what is working and what is not, then helps people experiment with new ways of coping.

Conversations often include identifying patterns, building routines, and practicing small changes that reduce daily stress. Over 15 years in practice, she has supported people through life transitions and crises as well as ongoing challenges. Her Pennsylvania license as an LCSW reflects that she carries a professional social work credential.

She uses that background to offer steady, practical support rather than quick fixes. Many clients find the first sessions useful for clarifying goals and choosing a path forward. Laura invites questions and works with each person to create a plan that fits their life and schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This work is good for reducing worry, improving mood, and handling overwhelming thoughts. Another approach centers on building routines and small behavioral changes to address sleep, eating, and daily coping. Those steps make daily life feel more manageable and reduce symptoms over time.

Finding the right approach happens together. Laura will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has worked before. She treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process and adjusts plans as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people benefit from face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick support, ongoing check-ins, or when someone prefers typing their thoughts. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping care consistent and accessible.
