About Laurie
Laurie Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with 40 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Laurie also offers coaching-style support around life purpose and practical goals.
She draws on cognitive psychodynamic ideas together with tools from energy psychology. That includes tapping/EFT, meditation, and centering to help calm intense emotions and improve emotional regulation. She describes this work as a way to neutralize strong reactions tied to past trauma or current stress.
In sessions she focuses on communication skills and reshaping relational patterns. She helps people identify triggers, speak with clearer personal ownership, and try different ways of asking for support from partners. The goal is clearer interaction and fewer repeated conflicts, not quick fixes.
Laurie also addresses beliefs that block change. She supports people who want to shift negative thinking, build self-trust, and take risks that align with what matters to them. That can include setting intentions around work, money, or life purpose and checking what gets in the way of following through.
Her approach includes attention to present-moment awareness and practices that some clients describe as spiritual. She works with clients to notice patterns, practice new skills, and test changes between sessions. To get started she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic techniques used online and what they do
Laurie uses cognitive psychodynamic ideas, which look at how past relationship patterns shape current behavior and feelings. That approach helps people notice recurring emotional responses and try different, more effective ways of relating.She also uses energy psychology techniques such as tapping/EFT alongside meditation and centering. These methods are used to reduce the intensity of strong emotions, support emotional regulation, and make it easier to practice new skills when stress rises.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Laurie collaborates with each person to identify goals, test different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means trying techniques in session and seeing how they fit with daily life outside of therapy.
