About Laura
Laura Thompson is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use every day to feel steadier and more capable.
She often supports people dealing with relationship tensions, intimacy challenges, and family problems. She also helps with addictions, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to issues like body image, divorce and separation, and recovery from domestic violence. Laura draws on several well-known approaches to tailor care to each person. That can include Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings in close relationships, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action, and client-centered methods that follow the pace a person sets.
She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when those tools fit the goal. Sessions emphasize clear goals and real-world skills. People leave with coping strategies for panic, obsessive worries, social anxiety, or mood swings tied to bipolar disorder and depression.
Laura gives straightforward tools for managing life changes and strengthening self-love. Her style is warm and practical. She listens first, then helps map steps forward that match a person’s needs and priorities.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions in relationships and close connections so patterns can shift and interactions feel safer. It is useful when a person is trying to change how they relate to partners or close others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches acceptance of difficult feelings while guiding action toward personal values, which suits people coping with anxiety, grief, or life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a steady, nonjudgmental presence from the therapist and follows the person’s own pace for change.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. This collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted over time to fit what actually helps.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow more visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework discussion, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work days, caregiving schedules, or while traveling.
