About Laura
Laura Amor is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and issues around self-esteem and life transitions.
Background and approach
She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and care plans to match individual circumstances and goals. Her practice emphasizes listening first and tailoring strategies that fit a client's rhythm and needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method.
Over the course of her career she has worked with concerns ranging from attachment and communication problems to caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and end-of-life counseling. Laura combines practical, evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered attention and emotionally focused work, integrating mindfulness and psychodynamic insights when useful.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering steady guidance while helping clients build skills to manage emotions, navigate relationships, and clarify life purpose. Clients can expect a thoughtful, adaptable approach that honors their experience and focuses on achievable steps forward.
Laura’s long tenure in practice reflects a commitment to helping people find greater balance, meaning, and resilience in daily life.
Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients' experiences guide the pace and focus of work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another approach she employs when relationship dynamics and attachment patterns are central, helping partners or individuals explore and transform emotional bonds.Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic journey, and she approaches that process collaboratively. Together with each client she will consider goals, personal preferences, and how different methods might be combined or adjusted to support progress over time. This collaborative exploration helps make sure the approach aligns with what feels most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy with Laura offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy lives and to access support from home or work, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical skill-building, emotional processing, and goal-focused work in ways that fit each person’s routine.
