About Laurie
Laurie Regna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 17 years of practice. She draws on long-term and brief approaches to tailor care to each person. Laurie aims to help people feel stronger and more capable so they can make lasting change.
Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to body image, divorce and separation, forgiveness, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.
How Laurie works
Laurie adapts her approach to the needs and pace of each person she meets. Sessions are practical and grounded. Laurie helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, learn new coping skills, and use their own strengths to move forward.
She balances supportive listening with concrete strategies people can try between sessions. People who reach out often want relief from overwhelming feelings, clearer boundaries, or a plan to handle big transitions. Laurie works to create a compassionate space where those goals can be tackled step by step.
She guides people toward skills that fit their daily life. Laurie brings experience from varied settings and with diverse populations. Her background includes both longer-term therapy and shorter focused interventions.
That experience informs a flexible style that meets practical concerns without losing sight of personal values and growth.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Laurie's practice emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptom relief and practical skill-building. One common method helps people learn concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress - techniques to manage racing thoughts, reduce physiological arousal, and structure daily routines so worries feel less overwhelming. Another approach targets trauma-related symptoms by helping people process difficult experiences at a comfortable pace while building emotion regulation skills and safety strategies.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie works with each person to figure out which techniques match their goals, preferences, and current challenges. She adapts methods over time, checking in about what helps and what needs adjusting so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy lets people work on these approaches using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text are helpful for short check-ins, journaling between sessions, or steady support without scheduling a call. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives.
