Laura Phillips, LCSW

Laura Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 17 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, and anger. Her practice also covers parenting strain, grief, career concerns, and attention-related struggles.

Phillips keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people spot patterns that make anger and stress flare. Conversations focus on useful skills, clearer communication, and concrete steps people can try between sessions.

Her background includes approaches that pay attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns of closeness and distance that often feed resentment or avoidance. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify thinking and behavior cycles that keep anger and anxiety active.

Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help slow automatic reactions and notice bodily signals before they escalate. Motivational interviewing can be part of sessions when someone wants help setting achievable goals and keeping changes going in daily life.

Laura also addresses family-of-origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and relationship control or communication problems. She brings experience with addiction, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue into the work when relevant.

People who want a practical, relational approach that combines talking, skill practice, and clear goals tend to do well with her style. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
