About Laura
Laura Chinnici is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, sleep problems, low self-esteem, mood concerns, and challenges related to sexuality and alternative lifestyles. Sessions are in English and she does not take international clients.
Laura uses clear, practical methods in session. She draws on Client-Centered techniques to listen and understand what matters to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems in place. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are part of how she helps people find small, manageable shifts.
In practice she speaks plainly about goals and steps. Conversations look like checking how things are going, noticing what makes anger or anxiety flare, and testing simple changes between sessions. For people dealing with intimacy or kink-related concerns she brings knowledge and direct discussion of boundaries, consent, and communication styles.
She notes work with addictions, bipolar mood concerns, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness and end-of-life issues among other areas. Clients can expect a focus on problem solving, skills practice, and narrative work to reframe difficult experiences. Treatment planning is collaborative and adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches you may use together online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify priorities and feel understood, which can be useful when anger or relationship issues are present.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps break cycles like rumination, avoidance, or reactive behavior by testing small behavior changes and new ways of thinking.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills to notice bodily cues, triggers, and emotional patterns. It can help with stress regulation and managing sudden spikes of anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the commute. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, narrative tasks, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so people can practice skills between appointments.
