About Laurie
Laurie Coppa is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on making clients feel heard and understood. Laurie emphasizes self-love and practical steps so people can move toward a life that feels more meaningful.
She draws on 24 years of experience in many care settings, including inpatient psychiatric units, medical hospital units, neonatal intensive care, residential programs for adolescents, and work with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.
Background and approach
That range shaped a practical way of working that values both empathy and clear problem-solving. In sessions Laurie uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She prioritizes back-and-forth dialogue so clients can name feelings, test ideas, and try new behaviors between meetings.
Laurie often returns to self-love as a foundation for change and helps people notice the obstacles that get in the way. She describes and explores feelings rather than labeling them, and she reflects what clients already know to help them see new possibilities. Laurie recommends regular appointments, weekly or every other week, to build momentum.
She prefers video or phone sessions, with live chat as an alternate option, and invites people who are ready to take a practical step toward change to reach out.

How Laurie Uses Emotion and Skills in Online Therapy
Laurie combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships and daily life. Client-centered work means she listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Laurie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adapts methods over time so sessions match the client’s needs and progress, using a collaborative process to decide what to try next.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video preserves face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing helps someone reflect. These options let people keep regular appointments and maintain momentum while balancing other responsibilities.
