Laura Premo

Laura Premo is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and matters related to life purpose.

She helps people get through transitions and new stages in life. She supports those recovering from past experiences and those managing panic attacks or social anxiety. Practical problems such as money concerns, workplace issues, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and isolation are also within her focus.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Laura works with each person to pick approaches that match their needs and goals. Conversations center on what is most pressing and on small, doable steps to try between meetings.

Her style is straightforward and problem-focused. She invites open discussion of thoughts and feelings and prioritizes clear plans over abstract talk. People who are unsure what comes next often start by naming one area to change and testing concrete options in session.

Laura works in English from New York as an LMHC. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

Approaches for moving through change and stress

Many of the techniques Laura uses are evidence-based and focus on practical change. Cognitive approaches help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts that keep them stuck, useful for anxiety, panic, and low self-esteem. Behavioral strategies break large problems into small steps and experiment with new habits, which can be helpful for workplace issues, social anxiety, or motivation concerns.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That match is reviewed and adjusted as the work proceeds so the plan stays relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let people check in from a convenient location. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions without video when bandwidth or focus needs differ. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling fits your life.
