About Laurie
Laurie Tucker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, and anger. Laurie also helps with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and navigating life changes.
She focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions are client-centered, with an emphasis on developing motivation and managing difficult thoughts and feelings. Laurie uses techniques that help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build more constructive responses when stress or anger arises.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with psychodynamic thinking and motivational interviewing. That means she pays attention to current behavior and to how past experiences shape responses now. For people who have faced trauma, she incorporates trauma-focused ideas to reduce reactivity and improve coping.
Laurie often works with people struggling with relationship problems, communication difficulties, codependency, and family of origin issues. She also supports those dealing with substance and process addictions, panic attacks, phobias, and symptoms associated with autism and ADHD.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Laurie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, panic attacks, and mood problems because it focuses on clear, practical strategies. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change and to help people move past reluctance or mixed feelings about changing habits.She sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Laurie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past treatment to decide which methods to emphasize. That makes sessions more focused and helps clients test what works for them in day-to-day life.
