About Laura
Laura Wiseman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life changes. She uses a warm, straightforward style to build a working relationship where clients feel heard and understood. Laura brings two decades of clinical practice to sessions and focuses on practical steps that people can use between meetings.
Her sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people set small goals they can try right away.
Background and approach
Techniques are drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral tools, so conversations shift into doable changes rather than staying only on feelings. Laura also integrates solution-focused ideas to keep sessions goal-oriented. That means identifying what already works and doing more of it, along with short-term strategies to curb reactive anger or calm anxiety.
She frames skills in simple, repeatable steps clients can practice at home. Over 20 years of practice in New Jersey have given her experience with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting concerns. She also supports people navigating fertility issues, domestic violence aftermath, and career transitions.
Laura uses plain language and steady guidance to help people move forward. People who prefer a respectful, task-oriented approach often find her helpful. Sessions mix talking, skill-building, and planning.
The focus is on immediate tools and longer-term coping strategies that fit each person’s life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them identify their own priorities and solutions. This approach is helpful when someone needs understanding before trying new skills.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety or manage anger. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete skills and clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and reflection, skills-based CBT, or a mix of methods tailored to the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read visual cues and do standard session work, phone needs less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and messaging supports short check-ins or prompts between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and to practice skills in real time.
