About Laura
Laura Miller is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with 22 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, and people coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, panic attacks, self-love, and concerns common to men and women.
Laura treats each person as the expert on their own story. She looks for strengths clients already have and uses those strengths in sessions. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical steps people can try between meetings.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck. She helps name those patterns and tries different ways to interrupt them. Work may include talking through past choices, practicing new responses to stress, and making small changes that feel doable.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients and she set goals together and check progress along the way. Sessions often include concrete skills aimed at easing anxiety, reducing cravings, improving relationships, or managing big life transitions.
Laura encourages people who carry guilt or shame to bring those feelings into the room. She helps examine where they come from and what role they play now. The focus is on clearer thinking and practical moves forward, not on assigning blame.
How evidence-based techniques work in online sessions
Many practitioners who work with stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship problems use cognitive-behavioral methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and change habit patterns. It often helps with panic attacks, worry, and everyday decisions.Motivational approaches are another common technique for addictions and codependency. They focus on clarifying what matters to the person and building readiness for change through short, practical steps and goal-setting. This approach can make it easier to move past indecision or shame around substance use.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust as progress is reviewed. That collaboration guides which techniques are used week to week.
