Laura Amor

Laura Amor, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She works with adults who are trying to cope with relationship struggles, low self-esteem, caregiver strain, or the emotional impact of aging and loss. She is based in New York and brings three decades of practice to each conversation.

She listens first, then adapts how she works to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside space to talk about feelings. Laura uses simple tools drawn from several approaches to help people manage day-to-day challenges and difficult emotions.

Her background spans 30 years of professional work in social work settings and clinical practice. That experience informs how she supports people facing endings, change, and the pressures of caregiving. Hospice and end-of-life counseling is one of the areas she addresses when it is relevant to a person's situation.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral work and emotionally-focused methods. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also shape how she looks at patterns and relationships over time.

Her style is respectful and compassionate, aimed at helping people find clearer thinking and better ways to cope. People who want practical strategies along with space to process emotion often find this approach useful.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and tailoring conversations to their needs. It emphasizes acceptance and listening, which helps people feel heard when discussing grief, caregiver strain, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and simple skill-building to manage anxiety, stress, and low mood in day-to-day life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions and relationship patterns. It can be useful when addressing attachment issues, communication problems, and the emotional effects of separation or loss.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest approaches that seem most helpful. Together you can try a method and adjust the plan based on what feels effective.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around caregiving duties, medical appointments, or work commitments. It also allows for focused skill practice and regular check-ins without adding long travel time.
