01About Laura
Laura Pascal is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable.
She listens with curiosity and respects each person's story. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and tools that can be used between meetings. Laura draws on proven approaches like client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral ideas to build coping skills and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Over two decades she has supported people facing parenting strain, career crossroads, and relationship tensions. She also works with concerns like caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the emotional effects of disasters or first responder work. She pays attention to life-stage questions such as aging, midlife transitions, and finding renewed purpose.
Laura combines mindfulness practices with motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to help people reflect and move forward. That mix is useful when someone needs both emotional processing and concrete behavior changes. Conversations aim to be straightforward and compassionate, not overly clinical.
People who want a cooperative plan and simple tools to try between sessions tend to do well with her style. She offers sessions in English and practices with an emphasis on respect for each person’s values and goals.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Laura blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can name what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more effective patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple practices that reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they shape a plan that might mix brief skill-building, reflective narrative work, and motivational interviewing to support change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, homework support, or when a quick touchpoint helps keep momentum between sessions.
