About Laura
Laura Pascal is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and other life transitions.
Background and approach
With 20 years of clinical experience, she centers her work on each person's priorities and practical needs, guiding clients toward clearer thinking and more effective coping strategies. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, career questions, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and adapting to illness or caregiving responsibilities.
She draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness alongside client-centered and narrative tools to tailor care to individual goals. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused elements often shape shorter-term work aimed at concrete change.
Laura emphasizes collaboration and respect, helping clients explore life purpose, communication patterns, and major transitions with steady support and real-world strategies. Sessions are offered through several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and she works in English with clients located in New Jersey.
The practice welcomes those seeking a thoughtful, skills-oriented approach delivered with compassion and practical guidance.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Laura often combines cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, develop practical coping skills, and build greater present-moment awareness. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress, while client-centered methods prioritize the client's perspective and personal values to guide change. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and acceptance skills that can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She partners with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains aligned with changing needs and outcomes. This helps create an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions. These flexible formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support and practical tools across different settings and routines, making it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions.
