About Laurie
Laurie Wade offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or depression. She draws on two decades of practice to help clients name what feels hard and try small, practical changes. Laurie speaks plainly and listens closely to each person's story before suggesting ways forward.
Her work starts by treating the client as the expert on their life. She asks clear questions and helps people notice patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
Together they set small goals that are realistic and measurable, so progress feels visible. Laurie uses approaches grounded in attachment ideas and in cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape thoughts and reactions, and she offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy may be folded in to help manage strong emotions and stay present. Clients who struggle with abandonment, attachment concerns, or communication problems often find a practical focus helpful. Laurie also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image worries, guilt, or life transitions like divorce and changing roles.
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with 20 years of professional experience. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Laurie works in English and does not take international clients.

Online support
How Laurie’s approaches translate to online care
Laurie commonly blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people understand patterns and try new responses. Attachment work looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions, helping clients notice how connection or fear of abandonment affects daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and lift mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as you learn what helps - the process is collaborative rather than fixed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice skills in conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text let people check in between meetings or use brief messaging for focused support. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving, and medical appointments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
