About Laurie
Laurie Siegel is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York with 19 years of experience. She has spent nearly two decades helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Laurie meets clients with respect and straightforward support.
She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so clients can regain momentum.
Background and approach
Laurie encourages small, doable changes rather than big leaps all at once. Common concerns she addresses include relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and managing ADHD symptoms. She also helps people dealing with anger, career crossroads, bipolar disorder, and adjusting after separation or divorce.
Additional focus areas include issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment, body image, and caregiver stress. Her approach is collaborative and supportive. Laurie listens closely, helps set realistic goals, and works with clients to try different strategies until something fits.
The tone in sessions is practical and respectful rather than clinical or lecturing. People who prefer clear guidance, a strengths-based outlook, and help translating insight into action may find her style helpful. Laurie aims to make the process manageable for anyone ready to take steps toward feeling better.

Approaches and how online therapy works
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problems and practical solutions. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach emphasizes building on a person's strengths and past successes to increase confidence and motivation.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Laurie works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggests strategies to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so the work fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs less visual focus or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, skill practice, and support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reach a licensed professional from different locations.
