About Laurel
LCSW Laurel Dietterle is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with six years of experience. She works mainly with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and relationship or family problems. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical ways to address patterns that cause pain.
Laurel begins by asking what brought someone to therapy and what would make sessions meaningful. She and the client map goals together and look for clear, workable steps. Common topics include improving communication, reducing overwhelming anxiety, and increasing emotional awareness.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Laurel uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to match tools to the person’s needs. She explains methods plainly and practices them in short, focused exercises during sessions.
Laurel pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, commitment concerns, dissociation, and eating or food-related struggles. She also addresses feelings like emptiness, guilt, and shame, and helps people cope with the impact of natural or human-caused disasters.
She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How Laurel uses therapy methods in remote work
Laurel uses several evidence-based techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it’s often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, useful when intense emotions or relationship conflict are present. Internal Family Systems looks at different inner parts and how they relate, which can help with attachment wounds, shame, and patterns like avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurel collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life. She checks in and adjusts methods as needs evolve so the work stays practical and focused.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. In general, remote sessions can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around school, work, or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skills practice to remote appointments to keep sessions active and goal oriented.
