About Laurie
LCSW in Delaware with five years of clinical experience, Laurie McNamara focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and career difficulties. She works with adults who are navigating life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy questions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues affecting first responders and people with intellectual disability. Laurie conducts sessions in English and practises approaches listed in her profile such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Laurie frames sessions as practical conversations. She listens to what is happening now and helps people identify steps they can try between meetings. Sessions often include goal-setting, short-term problem solving, and a look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She adapts what she does to the person's situation rather than following a fixed script.
Her work covers relationship strain, jealousy, and the stresses that come with career transitions. For people dealing with grief or trauma, she uses approaches that focus on meaning, coping skills, and reducing distress over time. She also offers coaching-style support for motivation and confidence building.
Laurie emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions. She aims to help each person find clear, manageable ways forward. Practical steps and collaborative planning are central to her approach.

Approaches used in online sessions
Laurie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and aims to build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and helps strengthen readiness to try new strategies for goals like career shifts or lifestyle adjustments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options together and adjust methods based on what the person needs, wants, and finds helpful. Decisions about focus and techniques are collaborative and reviewed as work progresses.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a daily routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people join from different locations when that suits their needs, while the therapist helps arrange a plan that matches each person's goals and practical constraints.
