More about Laurie
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Professional Counselor and an Addictions Counselor in New Jersey with over 20 years of experience working as a counselor, an advocate, and a Star Behavioral Health Provider. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, coming out (LGBTQIA), relationship issues, PTSD, military deployment and reintegration, and traumatic brain injury. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is client-centered and warm. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines client centered, solution-focused with systems theory and occasionally art self expression, however, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific goals.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards becoming your authentic self. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
