About Laurie
Laurie Tucker is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on workplace wellbeing and broader life stressors, helping people manage anxiety, depression, addictions, and the strain of big life changes. Laurie aims to create a respectful and compassionate space so people feel understood from the first conversation.
She uses a straightforward, person-centered way of working. That means conversations center on the client's goals and what matters most to them. Laurie tailors each plan to the person's needs, and she helps break larger problems into manageable steps.
Laurie draws on several clinical approaches to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change behaviors related to substance use or other process addictions. Trauma-focused methods and psychodynamic ideas inform her approach when past experiences are shaping current struggles.
In sessions she listens carefully, checks in about progress, and adjusts strategies as needed. She helps people with self-esteem, relationship concerns, anger, and attention-related challenges like ADHD. Laurie also works with issues related to autism, codependency, and family-of-origin patterns.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages small, achievable steps and supports people as they try new ways of coping. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.
How Laurie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's goals and priorities. Sessions aim to follow the client's lead and respond to what feels most important in their life, which can help with stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and skill building to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address unhelpful thinking patterns.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change behaviors like substance use or other process addictions. It uses a collaborative, nonjudgmental tone to boost motivation and set small achievable goals.
Laurie treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. That means checking in about what’s working and adjusting the plan together over time.
