About Laura
Laura Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and mood conditions like depression and bipolar. She also addresses issues such as body image, parenting strain, intimacy-related problems, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and ADHD.
Thompson uses a mix of approaches to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions emphasize clear goals, learning new coping skills, and improving communication in close relationships.
Her work often centers on concrete problems. That can mean building routines for better sleep, managing panic and anxiety, or planning next steps after a separation. She helps clients sort through family problems and issues that follow trauma or domestic violence. For people wrestling with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, or addictive behaviors she focuses on skills to reduce distress and regain control.
Thompson supports people dealing with life transitions and identity questions. She offers guidance around parenting challenges, veteran and armed forces issues, and concerns common in young adults. She addresses infidelity, jealousy, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust after relationship hurts.
Her practice is goal-oriented and conversational. Sessions are meant to be practical and straightforward. People who want structured tools and clear steps often find this style useful.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching them to notice thoughts without getting ruled by them and to act in ways that match what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, managing panic, changing unhelpful thinking, and improving mood through behavior changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines emotion regulation and skills training with problem solving. It is useful for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive or self-harming behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and symptoms and recommend methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use video or phone formats for skills teaching, coaching around sleep and routines, or processing relationship issues depending on what is available.
