About Laura
Laura Goodman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, and the strain of family conflict. She also supports those facing grief, life changes, compassion fatigue, and relationship challenges. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at easing daily burdens so people can move forward.
She creates a calm, open space where clients can say what they think and feel without judgment. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Laura emphasizes skills that people can use right away to reduce overwhelm and regain routine. Her practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional pain and caregiver burnout. Over seven years she has worked with many people navigating loss and major life transitions.
That experience informs a steady, empathetic style in sessions. Laura keeps sessions focused and collaborative. She listens for what matters most to each person, and then helps build a plan that fits daily life.
The work aims to make problems more manageable, not to rush results. People meet with her by phone, video call, live chat, or text messaging. She is licensed in New York as an LCSW and conducts therapy in English.
Laura invites people to take the first step toward clearer coping and steadier days.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Laura uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on skills people can use each day. One approach emphasizes coping skills for anxiety and stress - teaching simple breathing, grounding, and problem-solving strategies to reduce immediate overwhelm and increase a sense of control. Another approach focuses on grief and life transitions by helping people organize memories, process loss at a manageable pace, and identify ways to rebuild daily routines.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a fuller conversation while seeing facial cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
