About Laurie
Laurie Siegel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 19 years of professional experience. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Laurie also addresses issues such as anger, parenting concerns, ADHD, grief, and career stress.
She begins by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already have. She sees clients as experts on their own lives and helps them use those strengths to handle what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to respond when emotions run high.
Laurie describes her approach as grounded and straightforward. She helps people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and practices new responses in session. That can include learning to manage frustration at work, contain resentment that builds over time, or cope with someone else’s anger in close relationships.
Her work also covers long-term mood concerns such as depression and bipolar-related stress. She supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, attachment questions, and the stresses of caregiving or serious illness. Communication problems and blended family dynamics are other common topics.
Sessions aim to break larger problems into manageable steps. Clients and Laurie set clear goals and try practical tools between meetings. The emphasis is on usable skills that make everyday interactions less draining and more predictable.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Laurie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors, then practicing small changes that reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and anger. Another method centers on building communication and problem-solving skills to handle conflicts and relationship strain more effectively.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie listens to what matters most to the client, discusses options, and tries methods that fit the client's goals and daily life. Together they track what works and adjust techniques as needed.
