About Laura
Laura Pascal is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 20 years of experience helping adults with common life pressures. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and issues that come with major life changes.
Laura focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens for what is getting in the way of everyday functioning and helps people identify small, concrete steps forward. Sessions often include examining thinking patterns, practicing simple mindfulness skills, and trying out new ways of communicating.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods so the client's perspective guides the work. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and adjust unhelpful thoughts. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas help people clarify values and rewrite difficult personal stories.
For young adults she pays attention to the pressures of starting jobs, leaving school, shifting relationships, and questions about identity and purpose. She helps people organize priorities, manage overwhelm, and plan next steps when life feels stalled or too fast.
Laura has spent two decades working with adults facing caregiving strain, blended family dynamics, chronic illness, and career transitions. She practices in New Jersey and works in English.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks questions to clarify what matters most, and supports choices that fit the person's life. It is useful for sorting out values, role changes, and relationship decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and using small experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is practical for stress, worry, and managing daily routines.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help with overwhelm, sleep disruption, and noticing how emotions build up before they spill over.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try different methods together based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative testing helps clarify what feels most useful and sustainable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, keep appointments during relocation or school terms, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to keep therapy going through life transitions without changing providers.
