About Laura
Laura Jowly is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience based in New York. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Laura aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
Over two decades she has helped people handle panic attacks, mood disorders, and the fallout from separation and divorce. She also supports those dealing with abandonment issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and communication problems.
How Laura works
Her work includes attention to women's issues and self-love. In sessions she prioritizes an open space where clients can say what they think and feel without feeling judged. Conversations are straightforward and practical.
She helps people name problems, try clearer ways of communicating, and build steady routines that reduce stress. Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps plan small changes that add up.
The pace and focus adjust to what the client needs that week. People who reach out can expect a calm, steady approach and direct feedback when useful. The goal is improved coping and clearer choices, not quick fixes.
Laura offers support as clients work toward a more confident, balanced life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Laura commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behaviors. One approach emphasizes practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to break cycles of fear. Another approach addresses mood and addictive behaviors by helping people spot unhelpful patterns, set small goals, and build routines that support recovery and steadier moods.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different techniques and recommend what to try based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and therapist make adjustments as progress or challenges appear, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video lets people interact face to face, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain consistent contact as change unfolds.
