Laurie Regna, LCSW

Laurie Regna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides therapeutic support to adolescents and adults through an eclectic, client-centered approach. With 17 years of experience across a range of clinical settings, she is skilled in both longer-term therapy and brief, focused interventions that meet clients where they are.

Her clinical work addresses behavior problems, emotion regulation, anger management, depressive and anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress, and college-related stressors. Laurie also focuses on challenges such as body image, relationship endings, forgiveness, self-esteem, self-love, social anxiety, and issues specific to women. She draws on evidence-informed techniques to tailor interventions to each person’s unique situation.

Laurie believes that change happens when people feel empowered, and she aims to provide compassionate guidance that helps clients identify and use their own strengths. In a supportive and respectful atmosphere, she helps individuals overcome obstacles, navigate life transitions, and build skills to move forward and thrive.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Laurie uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques tailored to common concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficulties with emotion regulation. One approach emphasizes practical emotion regulation and coping skills - teaching concrete strategies to manage overwhelming feelings, reduce reactivity, and build more adaptive responses to stress. This work is helpful for clients struggling with anxiety, anger, or mood challenges.

Another focus is trauma-informed therapeutic work that helps people process past traumatic experiences and reduce their impact on daily life. These strategies aim to create a steady, paced path forward so clients can regain a sense of control and resilience when facing trauma-related symptoms.

Laurie also brings a strengths-based, empowerment-oriented stance that helps clients identify personal resources and goals. Choosing the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process - Laurie works with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Laurie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow clients to engage from different locations, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes or busy periods. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to support meaningful progress in therapy.
