Laura Amor , LCSW

Laura Amor is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and changes in self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at creating calm and steady conversations for people who feel overwhelmed.

She adapts each session to what the person needs that week. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning simple techniques to cope, and trying new ways to approach difficult feelings. Mindfulness tools and practical skills are used to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Laura also draws on longer-term approaches to understand patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. That can help with family of origin issues, attachment concerns, codependency, and commitment worries. She works with people facing divorce, infidelity, caregiver stress, aging and end-of-life matters, and the loneliness that can follow major life shifts.

Her background supports both short-term problem-solving and deeper emotional work. People who want clear, calm guidance and an honest conversation about goals tend to do well in her practice. Sessions can include skill practice, reflection, and planning for changes outside of therapy.

If you want a steady, experienced clinician who listens and helps you make practical changes, she offers a thoughtful, person-centered approach to support your next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's concerns. It emphasizes empathy, respectful conversation, and helping people find their own solutions to stress, anxiety, and relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises and skill building to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, pays attention to emotional responses in relationships and helps people name and shift patterns that harm connection. This approach can be useful for communication problems, attachment issues, and relationship wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to try methods that match goals, needs, and comfort level. That means adjusting style and tools over time until something feels useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when scheduling needs flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to continue work between sessions.
