About Laurie
Laurie Regna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of clinical experience based in New York. She sees adolescents and adults and works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Laurie also focuses on concerns such as body image, divorce and separation, forgiveness, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.
Laurie uses an eclectic approach that adapts to what each person needs. Sessions can be brief or longer term depending on the problem and the person's goals. She draws on practical strategies to help people manage emotions, reduce distress, and handle stressful situations more effectively.
In the room she helps people name patterns that get in the way and practice new ways of responding. That can look like learning emotion regulation skills, addressing behavior problems, or working through past traumatic events. She offers guidance while encouraging clients to build on their own strengths.
Her background includes work with diverse clients across multiple settings. That variety informs a flexible style that fits different goals and life circumstances. Laurie aims to help people move forward from what holds them back and to make everyday life more manageable.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Laurie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and trauma. She often uses approaches that teach practical emotion regulation skills to help people notice and manage strong feelings more effectively. These skills can help with panic, anxiety, and stress by giving concrete tools to use during hard moments.She also works with trauma-focused methods that help people process upsetting past events and reduce their ongoing impact. These approaches usually involve gradually facing difficult memories and learning new ways to respond to triggers, which can lessen their hold over daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will discuss options with each person and choose methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy proceeds.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If someone prefers a quieter, low-bandwidth option, that can be discussed when arranging sessions.
