About Laurel

Laurel Eigner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of practice based in Connecticut. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her manner is warm and approachable so people can speak honestly about what feels hard right now.

Laurel uses practical strategies to help people manage symptoms and get back to daily life. She often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with mindfulness exercises to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear tools and doable steps rather than long lectures. She has worked across many settings and with people navigating workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and career questions. Laurel also brings experience supporting those coping with bipolar mood patterns, panic attacks, isolation, and aging-related concerns.

Her background includes crisis stabilization work, so she can help when feelings become overwhelming. Laurel keeps the room relaxed and invites people to set the pace. She listens for what matters most, then helps build a simple plan for change.

Appointments can combine short-term coaching with longer-term work depending on each person’s goals. People meet Laurel to sort priorities, reduce symptoms, and practice new ways of handling stress. She explains tools plainly, tracks progress, and adjusts the plan as needs shift.

This practical, steady approach helps people feel more capable between sessions.

Approaches Laurel names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

CBT and Mindfulness for Online Care

Laurel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that make anxiety and depression worse. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that lower stress and interrupt panic cycles. Mindfulness helps people stay present so they can respond rather than react when emotions rise.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Laurel works with each person to match methods to their goals and comfort level. That collaborative plan can shift as progress is made or new problems appear.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for focused sessions that mirror in-person visits. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing accountability between fuller sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
