About Laura
Laura Singerman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. She aims to create a calm, open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Her style is straightforward and supportive for people ready to make changes.
With five years of clinical experience, she focuses on helping clients build motivation and confidence. Sessions commonly address mood issues, coping with life changes, and challenges like impulsivity or addictive behaviors.
Background and approach
She also supports people navigating intimacy concerns, grief, or struggles tied to family of origin. Her work includes attention to specific concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. She pays attention to communication problems, body image, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Practical problem-solving and clearer daily routines are often part of the work. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that breaks big problems into smaller steps. She emphasizes gentle accountability and concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Progress is framed as steady effort rather than sudden fixes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients for remote care. People who want a supportive, encouraging therapist to help them weigh options and try new coping methods may find her approach helpful.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and clearer daily routines. One common approach involves skill-building for mood and anxiety management, teaching breathing, behavioral activation, and simple coping tools to manage worry and low energy. These skills help with stress, depression, and day-to-day overwhelm.Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns by practicing small experiments and clearer boundaries. This helps when communication problems, intimacy concerns, or family-of-origin issues make life harder. She also addresses compulsive behaviors and impulsivity by helping clients notice triggers and plan alternative actions.
Choosing the right style of therapy is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. The therapist and client decide together which techniques and pacing fit the individual’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging helps track progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
