Laura PremoLMHC

Laura Premo is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with more than 12 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with pregnancy and childbirth-related issues and other specific stresses like caregiving and workplace pressure.

She aims to make therapy a calm, open place where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgment. Sessions focus on the client's goals, and she adapts methods to fit each person's needs. The tone is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on small steps that make day-to-day life easier.

Her background includes over a decade of direct clinical work with adults navigating change and healing from past experiences. That experience informs how she notices patterns, helps people build coping skills, and plans realistic goals they can try between sessions.

In sessions she listens closely and helps clients name what matters most. Conversations often include practical strategies for managing anxiety, improving communication, and handling stress at work or home. The focus is on what will help the person feel more steady, confident, and in control.

Getting started involves a short intake and a shared plan. She encourages people to take small, brave steps toward the life they want while offering steady support along the way.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. One common approach helps people identify thought patterns that increase anxiety or self-doubt, then practices small behavioral experiments to test new ways of thinking. This can help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and everyday worry.

Another useful method concentrates on skill building for stress and life transitions. It teaches tools for managing overwhelming moments, improving communication, and organizing steps to meet career or parenting goals. These strategies are aimed at steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process can include trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker follow-ups when issues arise. It can also offer shorter check-ins or full sessions to meet different needs, helping therapy fit around work, childcare, and other responsibilities.
