About Laura
Laura Amor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses family of origin issues and related concerns that affect daily functioning.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that started in childhood and how those patterns show up now. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to manage symptoms and build new habits.
Laura also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to clarify relationship dynamics and psychodynamic thinking to look at deeper, recurring themes. Together with each client she considers what methods fit their situation and goals. She explains options simply and helps people try small changes between sessions.
Over three decades she has supported people through divorce and separation, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and end-of-life concerns. She provides practical skills for communication, coping with isolation, and handling guilt or shame related to family history.
Her sessions are conducted in English from her New York practice. People interested in working on long-standing family patterns can expect clear explanations, goal-focused work, and a steady emphasis on workable steps forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Laura combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused ideas to help people address long-standing patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and on collaborative planning so clients set the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how feelings and interaction patterns shape relationships and can help clarify what people need from others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods based on a client's goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. The process is collaborative and often mixes strategies rather than relying on a single model.
The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling and any practical arrangements during the matching and intake steps so sessions can fit into everyday life.
