About Laura
Laura Chinnici is a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and related concerns. She writes plainly and listens carefully to understand each person's situation.
She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's needs at the center of sessions. That means conversations shape the direction of work, and goals come from what the person wants to change.
Background and approach
Laura also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce distress. Many people come for help with sleeping problems, low self-esteem, motivation, and relationship concerns. She has experience addressing sexuality and alternative lifestyles, grief, trauma and abuse, and substance-related struggles.
Clients also bring career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness challenges, and questions about identity and gender, and these topics are part of her practice. Sessions are shaped to the individual. She uses practical exercises, short-term goal setting, and mindfulness techniques to reduce immediate symptoms and build lasting habits.
Laura aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk honestly and test new ways of coping. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. Therapy follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How Laura Uses Talk Therapy Online
Laura uses client-centered therapy to let each person's concerns guide the work. That approach means sessions focus on what matters most to the person and adapt over time as goals change. It is useful for relationship and intimacy issues, life transitions, and building motivation.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. CBT helps with anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and low mood by teaching practical steps to shift thinking and try new actions.
Finding the right fit is part of the process and she treats the choice as collaborative. Together the therapist and person review goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That makes therapy responsive to changing needs and real-life demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth or being off-camera helps. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day.
