Laura Premo , LMHC

Laura Premo is a licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She focuses on building confidence, coping skills, and clearer thinking during periods of change. Many people seek her support for workplace strain, self-esteem concerns, and issues tied to pregnancy or separation.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Laura creates a welcoming space where clients can speak openly about fears and goals without judgment. She works collaboratively to set concrete goals and track small steps toward them.

Her approach centers on tailoring techniques to each person’s needs. That can mean practicing tools for panic or anxiety, building routines that support self-care, or talking through decisions connected to career or finances. She also helps people who feel isolated or who are facing the stresses of caregiving.

Laura’s background includes over a decade of clinical work in New York as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She uses that experience to ground sessions in realistic next steps rather than abstract theory. Sessions aim to feel useful from the first few meetings.

Clients can expect a calm, empathetic style that focuses on practical coping and clearer communication. Laura emphasizes empowerment and supports people as they try new strategies and make life changes.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach she uses teaches breathing, grounding, and short behavioral tools to manage panic attacks and acute anxiety. These techniques help people reduce intense physical symptoms and regain control during high-stress moments.

Another frequent focus is building routine and problem-solving skills to address stress, low motivation, and workplace strain. This involves breaking larger problems into smaller steps, trying experiments between sessions, and refining what works. That kind of work is useful for life transitions, career decisions, and improving daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works together with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, while phone sessions can be a simpler way to fit therapy into a work break or low-bandwidth situation. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, practicing skills between meetings, and keeping continuity when schedules are tight. These options offer flexibility so people can make therapy fit into busy lives.
