Laurie Coppa , LCSW

Laurie Coppa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 24 years of clinical experience. LCSW denotes a licensed professional trained in psychotherapy and social services. Over the course of her career she has worked in a wide range of settings - including inpatient psychiatric units, hospital medical units, Neonatal Intensive Care units, adolescent residential care, and with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence - as well as supporting families facing end-of-life stressors and people seeking compassionate, attentive support.

She brings an interactive, empathetic style that balances solution-focused interventions with compassion. Laurie emphasizes listening and clear communication, helping people name and explore their feelings rather than simply assigning labels. She views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative team effort and often returns to the theme of self-love as a central part of healing and growth. In sessions she functions as a reflective mirror - offering empathy, gentle challenge, and practical guidance to uncover obstacles that interfere with living a more fulfilling life.

Laurie prefers plain language, values a back-and-forth dialogue, and encourages regular engagement with the process. For addressing patterns and shifting old habits she recommends making session times a priority, with weekly or biweekly meetings seen as most helpful. She typically conducts sessions by video or phone, with live chat as a secondary option, and focuses on creating a space where clients feel heard and able to explore changes they wish to make.
