About Laurie

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) with 10 years of experience, licensed in Colorado and practicing from New Jersey. Laurie Peter helps people facing LGBT-related concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence challenges, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and isolation.

Laurie keeps sessions straightforward. She listens to what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations and goals are shaped around practical steps clients can try between meetings. She writes clear plans and checks progress together during sessions.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional pain and problem-solving needs. She works with people on forgiveness, guilt, and family of origin issues as well as end-of-life and hospice concerns. For those navigating commitment or control issues, she helps identify patterns and small changes that can reduce day-to-day strain.

Laurie frames therapy as a collaborative process. She discusses options and adapts the focus as goals shift. Sessions aim to increase coping skills, strengthen motivation, and build confidence to manage life transitions.

People considering work on young adult issues, aging and geriatric concerns, or caregiver burnout will find a practical emphasis. She accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. To start, prospective clients use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How Laurie Uses Evidence-Based Techniques in Remote Work

Laurie references evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns that maintain distress and developing small behavior changes. This method helps with issues like low self-esteem, motivation, and repetitive relationship problems.

Another approach emphasizes grief-focused support that helps people process loss through structured conversations and memory work. This is useful for people coping with bereavement or hospice and end-of-life concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laurie will review what’s been tried, discuss options, and decide together which techniques fit the client’s needs and goals. The plan can change over time as progress is tracked and new concerns arise.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a work break, and audio-only meetings can reduce bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals commonly use remote work to maintain continuity of care and to support people who are managing caregiving responsibilities, relocation, or frequent travel.
