About Laura
Laura Wiseman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She brings two decades of experience to sessions and aims to make the first connection simple and direct. Her style is warm and engaging.
She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, short-term goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings so progress feels tangible. Laura uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on solution-focused methods to identify small, achievable changes that add up over time. The Gottman Method informs her work around relationship concerns and communication skills. Clients often come with stress, parenting strain, grief, trauma, or mood challenges such as depression or bipolar disorder.
She also supports people facing fertility issues, domestic violence effects, and social anxiety. Work may include coaching-style sessions for career or life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and take place with people in New Jersey.
Laura is licensed as an LCSW. She encourages people to take the first step by describing what they want to change and trying a few focused tools together.
Approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so people feel heard and understood; this helps when someone is overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works. That way the approach evolves with the client's needs rather than being fixed from the start.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to share updates or get brief coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and busy schedules without a commute.
