About Laurie

Laurie Siegel is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 19 years of professional experience. She has spent nearly two decades supporting people through concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family conflicts, and self-esteem challenges.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, career transitions, and mood conditions like bipolar disorder. She views clients as the experts in their own lives and focuses on identifying strengths people can use to move past obstacles.

Laurie emphasizes a collaborative, empowering approach that helps clients take concrete steps toward change while honoring their values and personal history. Practical support and steady encouragement are combined with attention to how attachment, communication, and life transitions affect well-being.

Her practice embraces a wide range of issues including adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, body image and eating issues, and responses to major life events. Laurie works in English and offers multiple online session formats to fit different needs.

Practical Approaches and Online Access to Care

Laurie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and insight to manage symptoms and life challenges. One approach emphasizes identifying strengths and practical coping strategies to reduce stress and anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Another common technique involves exploring attachment and communication patterns to address relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and long-standing interpersonal issues. These approaches are presented in straightforward, goal-oriented ways that aim to increase coping options and emotional understanding.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context and then tailors methods to fit those needs. She partners with each person to test what helps, adjust strategies over time, and prioritize steps that feel most useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These formats allow ongoing contact from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service region, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and adapt care to life demands.
