Laura Miller, LCSW

Laura Miller is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years of professional experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship conflicts, depression, and major life transitions. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each person's situation while emphasizing practical skills for coping and recovery.

She approaches work with the view that each person is the expert of their own story and brings strengths that can be used to overcome current challenges. That perspective guides a collaborative process in which goals are set together and progress is measured against what matters most to the client.

Laura has substantial experience supporting people through changes such as caregiving responsibilities, substance use concerns, codependency, feelings of isolation or shame, and questions of life purpose. Her practice also addresses issues often experienced by men and women differently, including panic attacks, relationship strain, and rebuilding self-worth.

Recognizing that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, she affirms clients who begin the process and aims to create a supportive environment where steady, practical progress is possible.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Laura Miller practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These approaches help people identify patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties and develop more effective ways of responding.

She also employs skills-focused strategies that teach practical tools for managing cravings, reducing panic, and coping with life changes. These skills aim to improve day-to-day functioning by building routines, stress-management habits, and relapse-prevention practices when addiction is a concern.

In addition, Laura centers the client’s strengths and lived experience, working collaboratively to set goals and use personal resources toward recovery and growth. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process - she partners with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Laura is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without rearranging major parts of daily life, and they can be combined to match changing needs over time.
