Laura Miller , LCSW

Laura Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 22 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, depression, and major life transitions. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build practical coping skills and address the patterns that interfere with well-being.

Her practice includes focused work with caregiver stress, codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, and issues related to guilt, shame, forgiveness, and life purpose. She also provides support for loneliness, panic symptoms, men's and women's issues, and cultivating self-love. Laura approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for the strengths that already exist to guide change.

Taking a first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Laura acknowledges that decision with respect. Her approach centers on collaboration - partnering with clients to clarify goals, explore options, and move forward at a manageable pace.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Remote Care

Laura Miller uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical coping skills to manage stress and anxiety. These approaches teach specific tools for recognizing triggers, reducing distress, and developing healthier daily routines, which can be especially helpful for people facing panic symptoms, chronic worry, or life transitions.

She also incorporates behavior-focused strategies aimed at addressing addictive patterns and supporting recovery. This work emphasizes small, achievable changes, relapse prevention planning, and strategies to reduce isolation and rebuild supportive relationships. In relationship-focused work Laura helps clients explore communication patterns, set boundaries, and clarify values to improve connections and resolve ongoing conflict.

Determining the right combination of techniques is part of the collaborative process. Laura and each client work together to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then adjust methods over time to find the best fit. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent care around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
