About Laura
Laura Premo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 12 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and life changes. Sessions are aimed at practical steps that help with day-to-day worry and decision points.
Clients often bring problems like relationship tension, trouble communicating, feelings of isolation, or the stress of caregiving. She also addresses concerns such as panic attacks, money-related stress, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and workplace strain. The focus is on clear goals and small, manageable changes.
Her approach is straightforward. Conversations center on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adjusts methods to fit each person's situation. Sessions include listening, reflection, and concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Laura emphasizes collaboration. She and the client set goals together and check progress along the way. The work can include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing communication skills, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
For someone juggling parenting responsibilities, work, and relationship stress, she aims to make sessions practical and focused. People leave with clear steps to try at home and with new ways to handle conflict and change. Her practice in New York centers on helping adults manage the everyday strains of life and family roles.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online
Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills. Cognitive-style techniques help identify and shift thoughts that increase anxiety or lower self-esteem; they work well for stress, panic, and workplace pressure. Skill-focused interventions teach communication, problem-solving, and coping strategies to manage family tension, caregiver stress, and life transitions.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That can mean trying a skills exercise one week and a thought-focused practice the next, then adjusting based on what helps.
Practical benefits of online sessions can include easier scheduling, fitting therapy into work or parenting routines, and shorter check-ins when time is tight. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to keep momentum between in-person visits or when in-person meetings are not practical.
