Laura Amor, LCSW

Laura Amor is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and major life changes. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aiming to make the first step toward help feel manageable.

She builds sessions around each person's needs and goals. Conversations and plans are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Sessions often focus on practical steps for coping, clearer communication, and understanding patterns that keep problems stuck.

Her work draws on several proven approaches. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that affect feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and shift relationship patterns.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to bring attention into the present moment and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current behavior. These methods are blended to fit what each person needs at the time. Laura emphasizes collaboration and clear, simple tools people can use between sessions.

People reach out to address caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, family conflicts, isolation, and end-of-life concerns among other challenges. The overall goal is to help people find clearer ways forward and more satisfying daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's needs and feelings. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow what matters most to the client and adapt pacing and focus each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and turns them into concrete experiments and skills to practice between sessions. This approach often includes worksheets and short behavioral tasks that fit well into day-to-day life.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use written exercises, mindfulness practices, and homework tools between meetings to reinforce progress.
