About Laurie
Laurie Tucker is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related concerns. Clients find straightforward support for motivation, self-esteem, and major life changes.
Laurie aims to meet each person where they are. She listens closely and adapts conversations and plans to fit individual needs. Her approach is respectful and compassionate while staying focused on what will help day to day.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses conversational methods that encourage people to notice patterns and try new skills. She helps people break big problems into smaller steps and test workable strategies. This often includes setting small goals, tracking what works, and adjusting plans together.
Laurie also brings depth to the work when it is needed. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and emotions. That perspective can help when trauma, family history, or long-standing patterns are part of the problem.
She supports people through practical challenges like coping with stress, panic, and relationship conflict. She also addresses process and substance addictions, codependency, and issues such as guilt, shame, and emptiness. Laurie encourages steady progress and realistic steps toward a more satisfying life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the work to each person. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify goals and values to guide change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills for thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress responses by teaching techniques for managing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods based on what feels helpful. This makes the process collaborative and adaptable to each person's needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can work when a quieter space or lower bandwidth is needed, and chat or messaging are handy for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make attending therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and daily life.
