About Laurie
Laurie Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with 40 years of professional experience. She works with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes, and coaching, and lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
She uses a mix of approaches that include cognitive psychodynamic ideas and energy psychology techniques. She includes tapping/EFT, meditation, and centering to help lower intense emotions tied to past trauma or current stress. In sessions she guides people through ways to calm emotional reactions and practice emotion regulation.
Laurie often focuses on communication in relationships. She helps people recognize triggers and practice speaking with clear personal ownership. That work looks at old relational patterns and learning new ways to relate that encourage more connection and less conflict.
She also supports people who feel blocked by beliefs about worthiness or deserving. That can include setting intentions, identifying obstacles, and practicing shifts in thinking that open space for change. Her interest in spiritual teachings informs efforts to increase present-moment awareness and reduce attachment to outcomes.
Her style blends practical skills with reflective work. Sessions may include guided centering, tapping exercises, talk-based problem solving, and planning steps toward personal goals. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
Laurie blends cognitive psychodynamic ideas with energy psychology techniques in her work. Cognitive psychodynamic approaches focus on how past relational patterns influence current feelings and behaviors, helping people notice old blueprints and try new responses. Energy psychology tools such as tapping/EFT are used alongside meditation and centering to reduce intense emotional reactions and support emotion regulation.Finding the right blend of methods is a collaborative process. She works with each person to see which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the approach over time rather than relying on a single method.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so people can focus on a single issue between commitments. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to practice grounding exercises, guided tapping, centering, and conversation-based work that translate well to a virtual setting.
