About Laura

Laura Wiseman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative connection, blending warmth and practical strategies to create a supportive space where clients' goals guide each step. Her style combines evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work with relational approaches that prioritize understanding each person's experience.

Laura also draws from the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics are central, and she incorporates coaching techniques to support career shifts and life transitions. This mix lets her tailor sessions to immediate concerns while building long-term skills for coping and emotional regulation.

Based in New Jersey, Laura offers a client-centered balance of empathy and structure to address issues like depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, anger, and family problems. Prospective clients can expect practical tools paired with exploration of patterns and values, aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and clarifying next steps for change.

Approaches and Online Care that Fit Your Life

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the therapist's genuine presence and active listening, helping people feel heard while exploring personal values and motivations to guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood-related symptoms. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for couples work, helping partners improve communication and manage conflict when relationship issues are a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time, blending approaches when useful and adjusting the plan as progress and life circumstances evolve.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain momentum between sessions, and access care from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals.
