About Laura
Laura Premo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and life changes. Her work also covers topics like panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, caregiver stress, pregnancy and childbirth, and workplace problems.
She focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions emphasize talking through current difficulties, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practicing small changes that can make daily life easier. She adapts her approach to each person's goals and pace and works with people to set concrete, manageable objectives.
Her background includes a decade of clinical work in New York settings with a range of concerns from acute stress to longer-standing anxiety. That experience informs how she structures sessions and tracks progress. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and mixes approaches to suit what each person finds helpful.
In session she aims for direct conversation about what is most pressing. People can expect to discuss recent events, coping strategies, and practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. The focus is on skills that carry over into everyday life and on clearer ways to handle situations that feel overwhelming.
People interested in starting work with her are invited to use the site matching process to schedule a first appointment and to note the issues they want to address. She asks clients to bring examples of situations that cause stress or anxiety so sessions can move quickly into useful strategies.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques involve focused, practical work on thoughts and behaviors. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small, alternative responses; this supports issues like anxiety, panic attacks, and social discomfort. Another helpful method emphasizes step-by-step exposure to feared situations, starting with less stressful moments and building up as confidence grows; this can be useful for social anxiety and phobias.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review what is and isn't helping, try methods that match the client’s goals, and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process that pays attention to what the person prefers and what produces practical results.
Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in between other responsibilities. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better suits someone’s day. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach skills, run exposures, and practice new ways of communicating without requiring in-person attendance.
