Laurie Snyder, LCSW

Laurie Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 40 years of experience. She centers work on helping people notice patterns that limit them and supports practical steps toward change.

She combines talk-based methods with mind-body practices to ease intense feelings linked to past trauma or current stress. That can include guided centering, meditation, and tapping or EFT to help reduce emotional intensity and build steadier emotional regulation.

Much of her work focuses on relationship problems. She helps people identify triggers, name needs, and learn ways of speaking that invite clearer support from others. She also helps people rethink old relationship habits so new, safer patterns can take hold.

Laurie supports people facing grief, big life changes, and the ongoing strain of chronic pain, illness, or disability. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, and panic or mood symptoms by combining practical coping skills with attention to meaning and purpose.

Her approach includes coaching elements aimed at shifting limiting beliefs and building confidence. She encourages setting clear intentions and taking gradual steps toward the life people want, while noticing the lessons that come from difficult experiences.

Laurie practices in Pennsylvania and is licensed as a clinical social worker in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. To begin, the site matching process is used to connect with her and schedule sessions.

Practical approaches you can use online

Laurie blends evidence-informed talk therapy with mind-body techniques to ease distress and support change. One approach she uses focuses on identifying and reframing limiting beliefs that keep people stuck; this involves noticing negative self-talk, testing it against daily experience, and building new, more helpful thoughts to support action and confidence. Another approach centers on emotion regulation through simple practices such as centering, guided breathing, and tapping or EFT to reduce intense feelings tied to trauma or current stress and to help people stay present and respond rather than react.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk through goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what feels useful. This helps shape a plan that fits the person’s needs, values, and pace of change.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work with therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to keep appointments around medical care or caregiving. Licensed professionals can also guide skills practice between sessions so progress continues in day-to-day life.
