About Laurie
Laurie Wade is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strains. She approaches each person with respect for their life story and strengths. Laurie aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and real.
She works in a straightforward, supportive way that centers the client's goals. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clearer understanding of patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
Laurie encourages people to use their own experience as a guide while introducing tools to reduce distress. Laurie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for managing intense emotions.
Mindfulness practices and a client-centered stance help people stay present and feel heard. With 20 years of practice in New York, Laurie has helped people address issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. Her work often includes coping with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and life transitions like divorce or financial strain.
Laurie keeps sessions focused and practical. She supports people who want clearer communication, steadier moods, or relief from ongoing worry. The goal is to build skills that fit daily life and to make lasting changes one step at a time.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections influence current relationships and emotional patterns; online sessions can be a place to notice these patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel understood and supported while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering clear steps to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods over time so the plan matches the client's needs rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide conversation and role-play, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, skill practice, or between-session contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working steadily on emotional and relationship goals.
