Laura Premo

Laura Premo is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She supports those facing relationship and family concerns, work-related strain, and changes like separation or divorce. Her approach aims to build confidence and practical coping skills for everyday challenges.

She draws on 12 years of professional experience to tailor each session to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is reducing panic symptoms, improving communication, or finding clearer direction in work and life. She emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly.

Laura works collaboratively to set goals and adapt strategies as progress is made. She helps clients practice new ways of handling difficult moments and increase self-compassion. Practical tools are paired with conversation so people leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings.

Many clients come for help with caregiver stress, managing control issues, or feeling isolated. She also assists those coping with money worries, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and questions of life purpose. Laura addresses men’s and women’s issues and social anxiety with the same focus on workable change.

Her style is supportive and direct, aimed at empowering clients to make choices that better fit their values. For someone ready to change, she offers steady guidance and clear next steps toward a more manageable daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common focus is helping people build coping skills for stress and anxiety through structured practice and problem-solving. This involves identifying triggers, trying new responses, and measuring what helps over time.

Another area of emphasis is supporting people through life transitions and relationship changes. Sessions can center on clarifying values, setting short-term goals, and practicing communication strategies to handle difficult conversations and reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to use and will adjust methods based on goals, progress, and personal preference. This means plans can change as needs evolve and new challenges appear.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so therapy fits into a busy day. Talk with the therapist about how remote sessions might fit your routine and what practical arrangements will work best for you.
