About Laura
Laura Wiseman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and relationship strain. She works with individuals facing grief, trauma, anger, self-esteem struggles, career changes, and parenting or family problems. Her style is warm and direct, focused on building a practical connection from the first session.
Over two decades of practice shaped her approach. She uses straightforward methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused conversations to help people set goals and try small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize concrete steps, clear thinking, and skills you can use between meetings. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy ideas, creating space for people to feel heard and to lead the pace of work. For relationship concerns she draws on the Gottman Method to help partners notice patterns and learn better ways to talk and solve problems.
Laura explains options plainly and helps people pick what fits their needs. People often come for help with coping after loss, managing bipolar or depression symptoms, or sorting through stress tied to fertility and domestic violence histories. Therapy sessions blend problem-solving with attention to feelings so progress feels both useful and human.
Laura offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire so she can learn what matters most before the first meeting.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace to build trust and clarity, which helps when someone needs to process feelings or decide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, or ADHD-related challenges, making it useful for short-term goals and homework between sessions. The Gottman Method addresses communication and interaction patterns between partners, offering concrete tools to reduce conflict and increase cooperation in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process lets the therapist recommend one method or combine techniques so sessions match the client's needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill work, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer shorter check-ins, need written reflections, or want to fit sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite a hectic schedule.
