About Laura
Laura Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 22 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, and life changes. Laura also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, substance-related concerns, and issues like guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
She approaches sessions believing the client knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Conversations focus on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Laura encourages small, doable changes that reduce immediate overwhelm and build confidence over time.
In the room she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, such as people-pleasing or trouble setting limits. She helps people name those patterns and practice new ways of responding. Sessions include talking through current problems, setting realistic goals, and trying out different strategies to manage mood and urges.
Her experience includes supporting people through addiction and recovery-related struggles, and helping those who feel defined by caregiving roles or by another person's moods or substance use. She also works with men and women who are wrestling with panic attacks, self-acceptance, or repairing strained relationships.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Laura uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, with fees that vary by location.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Laura describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change patterns and manage strong feelings. One common approach is focused behavior change - identifying unhelpful habits and trying gradual alternatives that fit daily life. This can help with anxiety, panic, and patterns like people-pleasing.Another approach she uses is problem-focused work that breaks big issues into smaller steps. This often includes short experiments between sessions to test new ways of responding to stress, relationship strain, or urges related to substance use.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most useful and realistic.
The biography does not list specific supported session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work while managing life changes, court or treatment appointments, or caregiving duties without adding extra trips.
