About Laurie
Laurie Coppa is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most. Her style centers on being a steady, empathetic presence while guiding people toward practical change.
With 24 years in the field, she has worked in inpatient psychiatric units, hospital medical floors, and neonatal intensive care units.
Background and approach
Laurie has supported survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, adolescents in residential care, people facing end-of-life family stress, and individuals dealing with caregiver burden. Those experiences shape how she thinks about everyday problems and big life transitions. In sessions she focuses on clear, two-way conversation.
She avoids jargon and helps people name their feelings so they can act on them. Laurie draws from approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to build realistic steps forward. Laurie emphasizes self-love as a practical tool, not a buzzword.
She acts as a reflective partner who points out patterns and helps uncover obstacles that keep people stuck. She often suggests weekly or biweekly meetings so momentum can build. People who prefer straightforward talk and a collaborative approach may find her style helpful.
Laurie offers phone and video sessions as her primary formats, with live chat as an additional option for shorter check-ins.

Online support
How Laurie’s Approaches Work Online
Laurie commonly uses client-centered work to create a listening space where the client’s goals guide each session. This approach focuses on understanding your experience and reflecting it back so you can make clearer choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and turn them into practical actions that reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Laurie treats the selection of approaches as collaborative - she will check in about what feels useful and adjust strategies based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions relevant and focused on change.
Online therapy gives flexibility for different rhythms of care. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and a full conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter, voice-only check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, quick problem-solving, or when written reflection feels more natural. These options help people fit therapy into real life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
