About Laura

Laura Pascal is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her work also covers parenting concerns, relationship and communication problems, career questions, and compassion fatigue.

Pascal builds a supportive space where people can talk through what matters most to them. She listens closely and helps clients name patterns, try small changes, and notice what works. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, not long lists of techniques.

Her background includes long-term practice with adults across different stages of life. That experience informs her interest in aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress. She also brings experience with blended family challenges, chronic illness and disability, and concerns common to veterans and first responders.

Clinically, Pascal uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She adapts these tools to the person in front of her, matching the pace and focus to each client’s goals. Treatment aims are concrete and collaborative, from mood management to improving communication.

People who choose Pascal often want steady guidance through transitions. She helps clarify priorities, manage strong emotions, and rebuild routines. To start, readers can follow the site’s process to connect and schedule an initial meeting.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone wants a respectful space to talk and to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers straightforward exercises to reduce worry and lift mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can lessen reactivity and help people cope with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That collaboration means trying a few techniques and tracking what helps most, then adjusting over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save commuting time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. It also supports regular short sessions or longer appointments depending on what the client needs and the therapist’s scheduling. Ask about formats when you set up your first meeting to match sessions to your daily life.
