About Laura
Laura Miller, LCSW, is licensed in New York and has 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, and coping with life changes. She works from the view that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work.
Laura asks questions and listens closely to what is happening now. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She treats addiction concerns including drug and alcohol issues and addresses codependency patterns and caregiver stress.
Her work also covers emotional topics such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, isolation, and panic attacks. She supports people exploring life purpose, self-love, and gender-specific concerns labeled as men's and women's issues. Conversations move between current problems and skills to manage them.
Sessions are aimed at clear goals. Laura helps people identify small, manageable changes. She uses approaches grounded in evidence to address anxiety, panic, and addictive behaviors, and to support coping during life transitions.
She works in English and practices in New York. Starting therapy includes a brief matching step and scheduling a first session. Laura encourages straightforward, goal-focused work to make therapy feel useful from the start.

Approach and practical online sessions
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach is focused symptom work that teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic; it helps people reduce immediate distress and manage physical reactions. Another common focus is relapse prevention and behavioral planning for drug and alcohol addiction; this looks at triggers, routines, and specific strategies to avoid substance use.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift as progress is made or as new challenges appear, with the therapist checking in about what is helping.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into daily life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between errands. They also permit shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose audio-only or video if those options are supported. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to clarify which formats are offered and what will work best for scheduling and access.
