Laura Miller , LCSW

Laura Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 22 years of professional experience supporting clients through a range of challenges. She focuses on stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, and navigating major life changes, and also brings experience addressing caregiver stress, codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, and issues specific to men and women.

Her approach emphasizes the client as the expert in their own story, building on existing strengths to manage symptoms and pursue meaningful change. Laura blends practical coping strategies with empathetic listening to help people address panic attacks, cultivate self-love, repair relationships, and move through transitions. She recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and honors each person who takes that step toward support.

Laura aims to create a collaborative process in which clients and therapist work together to clarify goals, develop skills for daily life, and find pathways forward from addiction, stress, or depression. Her long experience in clinical settings informs a down-to-earth style that balances skill-building with compassion and respect for each personâs unique journey.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Support

Laura Miller uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to online work. One approach focuses on skill-building to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors so clients can reduce anxiety, manage panic, and improve mood. Another approach centers on relapse prevention and practical coping strategies for people affected by drug or alcohol addiction, helping them develop routines and supports to maintain progress. A third emphasis is on interpersonal skills and boundary work to address relationship struggles, codependency, and communication challenges.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. Laura collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then tailors techniques that fit those priorities. That collaboration helps ensure clients are using strategies that feel useful and realistic for their lives.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can meet with a licensed professional from different locations and at different times. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities.
