About Laura
LCSW Laura Jowly is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Laura also addresses issues such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and women's issues.
Laura's style is straightforward and practical. She works with clients to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings and to talk through what gets in the way of day-to-day functioning. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life problems rather than jargon or long theoretical explanations.
She emphasizes collaborative work. Together with each client she clarifies immediate goals and breaks them down into small steps. That can include building routines to manage anxiety, planning safer responses around addictive urges, or practicing ways of expressing needs to others.
Laura supports people coping with loss and with low confidence. She helps identify patterns that feed shame, avoidance, or impulsive behavior, and then tests manageable alternatives in session and life. Progress is measured in concrete changes clients notice week to week.
People who prefer clear guidance and practical strategies often find her approach useful. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based techniques and remote sessions
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems. One approach focuses on practical skills to manage anxiety and panic symptoms, such as short behavioral exercises and breathing or grounding strategies that reduce immediate distress. Another approach targets problematic coping around addiction and impulsivity by identifying triggers and creating step-by-step plans to change habitual responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to test methods, watch what changes, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That means trying strategies in session and in daily life, then deciding together what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or between commitments. It also lets people use quieter surroundings or switch to audio-only when video is impractical. The therapist and client determine practical arrangements together during the matching and scheduling process.
