About Laura
Laura Amor is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her practice also addresses concerns such as caregiving stress, attachment difficulties, family of origin issues, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She uses plain conversation to help people sort through what is happening now. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, naming strong feelings, and finding ways to respond differently. Laura draws on approaches including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide that work.
Her style is practical and steady. She listens to how a problem shows up day to day and helps people try small changes that can change the pattern. Mindfulness techniques are used to ground overwhelming emotions and support clearer choices.
Over three decades she has supported people through divorce, caregiving, end-of-life concerns, and transitions tied to aging. Psychodynamic ideas are part of how she traces patterns back to earlier experiences when that helps make sense of current struggles.
Sessions are conversational and aimed at making things more manageable between meetings. People who carry shame or guilt often focus on repairing relationships, setting boundaries, or rebuilding self-respect. Laura helps map practical steps and cultivates skills to cope with painful feelings.
How her approaches fit with online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online sessions can preserve that conversational focus while letting people speak from a familiar setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, which adapts well to virtual sessions because tasks and worksheets can be shared and reviewed together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps map patterns in close relationships and name the emotions underneath conflict, and it can be used online to practice new ways of connecting or expressing needs.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match current goals, whether the priority is lowering anxiety, addressing guilt and shame, or improving communication. That choice can shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and avoiding travel time. Before booking, confirm which session formats she currently offers so you know what to expect. Sessions conducted remotely can make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and allow focused, regular check-ins without rearranging a whole day.
