About Laurie

Laurie ODonoghue is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate parenting challenges, build self esteem and confidence, address career concerns, and work with ADHD-related struggles.

Background and approach

Laurie emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while supporting clients in practical, real-world ways. Her practice centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop strategies that fit their lives.

Laurie collaborates with each person to set goals and identify steps toward greater motivation and resilience. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and offers steady support as clients work toward becoming the best version of themselves.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills and meet daily challenges. One common approach focuses on practical skills training that teaches ways to manage stress and anxiety through behavior changes and structured practice; this helps people reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Another frequently used method emphasizes building self awareness and problem-solving strategies to strengthen motivation, confidence, and decision-making for career or parenting challenges; this approach supports clearer thinking and step-by-step action planning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, and then tailors techniques to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Together they review progress and adjust strategies so therapy stays aligned with the client's priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and daily routines. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, try different ways of communicating, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
