Laura Goodman, LCSW

Laura Goodman, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), practices in New York and has seven years of professional experience. She helps people with family conflict, grief and loss, major life changes, compassion fatigue, caregiver burnout, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and depression. She describes her work as creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.

Goodman meets people with straightforward language and practical goals. She focuses on clear communication and making time to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions emphasize talking through current problems, naming sources of stress, and developing manageable coping steps.

Her background includes seven years of clinical practice in New York, during which she has focused on loss, caregiving strain, and the stress of life transitions. Goodman uses commonly taught, evidence-informed techniques adapted to each case rather than a single fixed method. She tracks progress and adjusts plans as needs change.

In sessions she works to reduce overwhelm by breaking issues into specific, addressable parts. She helps people build routines and small behavioral changes that fit everyday life. She also supports thinking through relationship patterns and communication strategies.

Goodman encourages parents and caregivers to name priorities and set realistic expectations. She offers practical steps for managing compassion fatigue and balancing responsibilities. The emphasis is on concrete coping strategies that can be practiced between appointments.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The intake conversation clarifies priorities and outlines a plan for the next steps.
