About Laura
Laura Premo helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career worries, and major life transitions. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control. Laura is a licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York.
She spends sessions listening first, so clients can say what matters most. Then she works with them to set simple goals and small actions to try between meetings.
Background and approach
The tone is direct and compassionate, with an emphasis on building confidence and better day-to-day coping. Many people come for help with relationship stress, communication problems, or the strain of caregiving. Others seek support after a separation or during pregnancy and childbirth.
She also assists people dealing with workplace pressure, money worries, and social anxiety. Laura adapts what she does to each person instead of using the same plan for everyone. That can mean practicing new ways to respond in tense moments, reframing negative self-talk, or building routines that reduce panic and overwhelm.
Clients and therapist choose goals together and track progress over time. With more than a decade of experience, she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. Sessions are a place to try things out, get feedback, and develop skills that fit daily life.
The work focuses on what will help a person feel safer, more capable, and clearer about next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping skills. One approach helps people notice and shift negative thinking patterns so they react less to fear and more to what they value. This can be useful for anxiety, panic, and low self-worth.Another common focus is skill-based work to manage stress and relationship problems. That involves practicing communication strategies, setting small behavioral goals, and developing routines that lower daily tension. These skills support work on caregiver stress, workplace issues, and life transitions.
Finding the right combination of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and then try approaches that fit. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video can feel most like an in-person visit, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
