About Laura
Laura Chinnici is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey - with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and challenges around intimacy and sexuality. Sessions also address sleep problems, low self-esteem, motivation, addiction concerns, grief, and coping with life changes.
She describes her style as person-focused, which means conversations center on what matters to the client. Laura uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She also brings mindfulness practices to help people notice physical reactions and calm down in the moment.
Her work includes talking through issues that can feel private or stigmatized, such as alternative sexual lifestyles and gender questions. She helps people name what is causing tension and then build small, doable steps to change patterns. Sessions typically involve clear goals, short-term skill practice, and regular review of progress.
Clients who struggle with anger often get concrete strategies to lower tension, interrupt automatic reactions, and repair relationships after an outburst. She pairs thinking-based exercises with attention to bodily signs of stress, so changes stick in day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens for what matters most and follows the client's lead to set goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete methods to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, anger, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people notice early signs of escalation.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and short assignments to try between sessions so progress can be reviewed together.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent on travel. It also makes it simpler to practice techniques in real-life settings and to follow up on progress between sessions.
