About Laurie
Laurie Snyder is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 40 years of experience to conversations about change. She works with people facing relationship strife, trauma, grief, mood struggles, and life transitions. Laurie aims to help clients notice old patterns and find clearer ways to act and speak in their relationships.
Her approach blends cognitive and psychodynamic ideas with practices that calm strong emotions. She uses techniques such as tapping/EFT, meditation, and centering to help reduce intense feelings from past trauma or present stress. These tools are offered alongside talk-based work that looks at beliefs and stories that get in the way of daily living.
Laurie helps people reshape relational patterns so communication feels more direct and owned. She focuses on teaching how to identify emotional triggers, speak with clear personal responsibility, and aim for closer connection without losing oneself. That practical work is paired with building self-trust and confidence.
She also supports people around goals and life purpose, including work on money and financial issues when those concerns come up. Her style encourages clients to name limiting beliefs, set intentions, and take manageable risks toward change. Laurie draws on a spiritual perspective for those who find that helpful, inviting present-moment awareness and non-attachment to outcomes.
Laurie is licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey as an LCSW. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Practical approaches for emotional regulation and change
Laurie combines cognitive-style work that looks at thoughts and underlying relational patterns with psychodynamic ideas that track how early experiences shape present behavior. Cognitive-oriented work helps identify and reframe unhelpful beliefs, which can ease anxiety, mood struggles, and barriers to financial decision making. Psychodynamic-informed thinking helps name old relational blueprints that affect closeness and communication.She also incorporates emotion-calming practices such as tapping/EFT and meditation to reduce the intensity of overwhelming feelings. These tools are used to help people manage strong reactions from trauma or current stress so they can think more clearly and respond differently in relationships and daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as things change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use talk-based work and emotion-regulation practices effectively through remote sessions when those formats are offered.
