Laurie Snyder

Laurie Snyder is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of experience. She draws on a blend of practical therapy and reflective practices to help people move through relationship conflict, grief, trauma, and life changes. Laurie speaks plain language and focuses on helping people take small, useful steps toward feeling more in control and connected.

She uses approaches that help people calm intense emotions and notice patterns that repeat in relationships. In sessions she teaches tools for emotion regulation, like centering and tapping, and guides people to recognize triggers and respond with clearer personal ownership. The goal is better communication and closer, safer connections with others.

Laurie also works with people on self-worth and life direction. She helps clients identify limiting beliefs, set intentions, and practice new ways of thinking that support growth. This often includes gentle attention to present moment awareness and learning to let go of fixed outcomes.

Her work addresses a range of concerns including attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, money worries, mood struggles, panic, and feelings of isolation. She weaves practical techniques with reflective conversation to help people integrate lessons from their past into healthier patterns now.

Laurie is licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey as an LCSW. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people build self-trust, confidence, and a stronger sense of purpose.

Evidence-informed techniques and online support

Laurie uses evidence-informed techniques that blend attention to emotion with practical tools. One approach focuses on emotion regulation through practices like centering and meditation, which help reduce overwhelm and support steadier responses to stress and trauma. Another approach involves tapping, or EFT, which aims to neutralize intense feelings and make it easier to process painful memories or present stressors.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs and goals, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to try tools in session and practice them between meetings to build new habits and confidence.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific online offerings are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow people to check in from wherever they are. Some approaches translate well to shorter check-ins or to practices that can be done without video, depending on what feels most practical for the client.
