Laura Premo , LMHC

Laura Premo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, holding the LMHC credential and bringing 12 years of professional experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people navigate stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, career challenges, self-esteem and confidence issues, and the emotional impacts of life changes and past experiences. Her work includes supporting clients through transitions, new life stages, and healing from earlier events that continue to affect daily functioning.

Laura emphasizes a collaborative approach, partnering with each person to set clear goals and tailor evidence-based techniques to meet individual needs. She aims to cultivate an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely, and she frames the therapy space as belonging to the client. Laura encourages taking courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life and positions herself as a supportive, empowering ally throughout that process.

Therapeutic work with Laura may address practical coping strategies, communication patterns, and ways to build self-compassion and resilience. Her background supports clients who are managing both everyday stresses and more significant transitions, with an emphasis on goal-oriented and person-centered care.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personal growth. One approach centers on skills-based interventions for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and coping strategies that reduce immediate symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes relational and communication work for family and interpersonal concerns, helping clients develop clearer boundaries, improved listening, and more effective ways to resolve conflict. These approaches are grounded in research-supported methods and are adapted to each person's situation and goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura works with clients to explore what methods feel most helpful, aligns treatment with individual needs and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. The client and therapist partner together to set priorities and measure outcomes over time.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow for scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or work. These formats make it simpler to maintain consistent care during transitions, travel, or when in-person visits are not convenient, while still allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured and effective therapeutic support.
