About Laura
Laura Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on guiding people through hard moments like stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Her work addresses relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and everyday difficulties like sleep and eating problems.
She uses a straightforward, person-centered style. Sessions start by listening to what matters most and then building practical steps from there.
Background and approach
People can expect clear goals, gentle challenge, and tools they can use between sessions. Her approach draws on Existential therapy alongside methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That blend helps people find meaning, notice unhelpful patterns, and practice changes that fit their life.
Laura adapts the work to each person's pace and needs. Laura has worked with a wide range of issues, including panic attacks, social anxiety, bipolar and depressive symptoms, body image, and relationship infidelity. She also addresses parenting strains, veteran and armed forces issues, and obsessive-compulsive concerns when they come up in individual work.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online through a subscription plan that may be canceled at any time. Laura aims to make therapy practical and relevant so people leave sessions with concrete skills and a clearer sense of direction.

Approaches That Translate to Online Care
Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and what matters most in life. It often focuses on values, responsibility, and making sense of hard experiences in a way that fits each person's life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical exercises to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward valued actions. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and offers specific skills to change patterns contributing to mood and anxiety problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Over time, the plan can shift if something feels off; the work is adjusted together so it stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and learning new skills together. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can be a short way to check progress or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
