About Laura

Dr. Laura Kaplan-Naim focuses on helping adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, work and school challenges, grief, relationship strains, and issues related to self-esteem and ADHD.

Background and approach

She aims to support clients who need practical strategies for time management, executive functioning, and career-related decision making while also attending to emotional wellbeing. Her style emphasizes collaboration and finding motivation within each person to move forward.

With three decades of clinical experience in both public and personal settings, Dr. Kaplan-Naim brings a background that includes a doctorate in psychology and post-doctoral training in speech and language pathology.

She often works with people who have reading or language-based difficulties and with those facing severe learning disorders, integrating relaxation and mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety and enhance focus. Her practice blends client-centered work with evidence-based strategies to help clients set achievable steps toward school, work, and life goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Dr. Kaplan-Naim commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques to address anxiety, stress, and challenges with focus. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to produce measurable changes in mood and functioning, which can be useful for work, school, and day-to-day tasks. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention and relaxation exercises to reduce worry and improve concentration, supporting emotional regulation and task completion.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each client to clarify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what proves most helpful, so care evolves from client needs, preferences, and real-world progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and coordinate support around work or school commitments.
