About Laura

LCSW Laura Johnson practices in New Jersey and has 25 years of experience. She focuses on addictions, grief and parenting concerns, along with depression and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English. She accepts international clients.

Laura works with people facing loss, changes, and difficult moods. She helps clients talk through grief and addiction-related struggles in straightforward terms. Conversations address practical steps as well as feelings, so clients leave with things to try between sessions.

Her approach centers on open conversation and problem-solving. She listens to what each person brings and helps them sort options. Communication problems, forgiveness, and attachment questions are common topics that come up in her work.

Caregiver stress and workplace issues are also frequent subjects. Laura talks through how daily responsibilities and job strain affect mood and relationships. She helps people find clearer boundaries and more manageable routines.

When post-traumatic stress or mood disorders are involved, sessions focus on stabilizing daily functioning first. Laura guides people through short-term strategies to reduce overwhelm, then moves toward longer-term coping skills. The pace is set by each person’s needs and readiness.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a cancellable subscription for sessions that varies with location. Confirm current session formats before booking.

How evidence-based methods translate to remote sessions

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques to address grief, mood disorders, and addiction-related problems. For grief work this often means structured conversations that help name losses and try new coping steps. For mood and addiction concerns it can involve short-term plans to stabilize daily routine and reduce harmful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. That choice is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten the travel time for caregivers, and allow for check-ins that focus on immediate problems. Some formats may be better for a quick workday check-in, while others suit longer therapeutic conversations. Ask about available formats and typical session length when arranging the first appointment.
