Laura Thompson, LPC

Laura Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, addictions, and anger. Sessions address everyday problems like sleep, eating, parenting strains, and self-esteem concerns.

Her background includes a mix of established therapeutic approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In practice she focuses on practical skills - learning to notice patterns, change unhelpful reactions, and rebuild important relationships.

Laura keeps sessions straightforward. Conversations often begin with what is most pressing and move toward small, doable steps for daily life. She uses exercises that target thinking patterns, emotional regulation skills, and clearer communication. Work can include behavioral experiments, emotion labeling, and values-based planning.

Clients seeking help for anger may find concrete strategies here - recognizing triggers, slowing escalation, and practicing alternative responses. She also supports people dealing with related issues such as jealousy, infidelity, divorce and separation, or coping with military-related stress.

Her practice accepts English-speaking and international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
