About Laura

Laura Wiseman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people managing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings two decades of clinical experience to her work and blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with an empathic, client-centered stance. Her practice also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, social anxiety, anger, career questions, fertility-related stress, and domestic violence.

Her style is warm, engaging, and collaborative, emphasizing a trusting connection as the starting point for change. She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and uses solution-focused techniques to set attainable goals.

Laura also integrates relationship-focused methods when relevant, applying structured tools for partners who seek improved communication and problem solving. Based in New Jersey, she offers sessions in English and tailors her approach to each person’s needs and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Laura commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, then develop practical strategies to test and change those patterns to improve mood and daily functioning. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can set goals at their own pace. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, stress, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adapt techniques over time rather than relying on a single method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels with technology. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from New Jersey, support regular progress between appointments, and allow clients to choose how they prefer to engage in therapy.
