About Laura

Laura Pascal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, parenting demands, or major life changes. Her style is straightforward and calm, aimed at making decision-making easier in difficult times.

Her work often centers on everyday problems like relationship strain, career questions, low self-esteem, and balancing caregiver responsibilities. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, blended family challenges, or the fatigue that comes from high-stress jobs.

Background and approach

Clients find practical ways to manage symptoms and move toward clearer goals. Laura uses Narrative approaches alongside client-centered techniques to help people reframe their stories and recognize strengths. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to build skills for mood and stress management.

Motivational Interviewing can help when people want support making life changes. Sessions aim to be collaborative. She listens for what matters most and then helps set small, achievable steps.

Over time this often leads to better coping, clearer priorities, and improved day-to-day functioning. Laura provides care in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She practices from New Jersey and holds an NJ LPC.

For practical next steps, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Laura often uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and retell the stories they live by, seeing problems as separate from the person and highlighting strengths that may be overlooked. This approach can be useful for identity questions, relationship shifts, and finding new meaning after loss.

She also applies Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and responding with empathy so the person can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change mood and behavior. These methods are practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a process she treats as collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend techniques that match their goals, pace, and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and flexible ways to process between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
