Laura Thompson is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey with two decades of clinical experience. Her practice blends an existential framework with influences from cognitive-behavioral approaches, rational emotive behavior therapy, and a strong emphasis on radical acceptance and mindfulness.
She has worked in psychiatric hospital settings and has clinical experience addressing addictions. She currently serves as the Program Director of an intensive outpatient program (IOP), where she applies both clinical expertise and program leadership.
Laura welcomes modern technology as a treatment modality and finds online and remote formats to be a practical, convenient way to provide care. She enjoys using creative, individualized therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each person she sees.
Her clinical strengths include an in-depth understanding of brain function, personality patterns, family and relationship dynamics, and the experiences of adolescents and teens. She is credentialed to practice in New Jersey as a licensed professional counselor (NJ LPC 37PC00634900).
Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparably effective to traditional in-person care for most cases.
A key benefit is convenience and flexibility - clients can choose the format that best fits their needs, whether video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That adaptability makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they seek a different therapeutic fit. For many individuals, online therapy provides a practical and effective way to access support.
