About Laura

Laura Jowly is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of professional experience based in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping clients take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

She creates a welcoming space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions emphasize clear conversation and doable steps rather than jargon.

Background and approach

Laura helps people build motivation, strengthen confidence, and develop tools to handle strong emotions. Her work often addresses issues around abandonment, communication problems, control struggles, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, mood swings, panic attacks, and symptoms linked to past trauma.

The focus is on coping skills and small changes that add up over time. Therapy with her combines listening with practical strategies. Clients leave sessions with concrete ideas to try between meetings.

She encourages steady progress and checks in about what is working and what needs adjusting. People who prefer direct conversation and clear goals may find her style helpful. She offers multiple online formats for sessions and guides people through choosing the option that best fits their schedule and needs.

Online support

Approaches and how online sessions help

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and emotion management. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; it helps people respond differently to stress and worry. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and relapse prevention for addictions and impulsive behaviors, giving concrete strategies to manage urges and high-risk moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped previously, then recommend techniques to try. Clients and the therapist review progress together and adjust the plan as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send quick updates, process emotions between sessions, and fit support into busy days. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
