About Laura
Laura Lekocevic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, and depression. She also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. Laura speaks English and Spanish and works with individuals on common life stresses and emotional difficulties.
In sessions she uses straightforward talk and listening to understand what matters most to each person. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow a client's lead and create a conversational, respectful setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her practice when people want clear, practical steps to change thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with moment-to-moment awareness and grounding when stress or worry feels overwhelming. Trauma-Focused Therapy is included for people who need focused work on past experiences that continue to affect day-to-day life. She blends these approaches depending on the issue presented and the person's goals.
Laura often supports people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, family conflict, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She also addresses concerns such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress, and difficulties after infidelity.
Her practice aims to create a predictable, respectful process where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Laura draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's own priorities, using attentive listening and reflective conversation to identify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when practical steps and skill practice are helpful, such as managing anxious thoughts or changing unhelpful behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations and to reduce reactivity in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura will discuss options with each person, try methods that match their goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. The plan evolves from session to session rather than being fixed at the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone's day. They can also let a person choose audio-only or video depending on what feels most workable. Ask about available formats when completing the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your needs.
