Laurie Snyder , LCSW

Laurie Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with licenses in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and 40 years of professional experience supporting people through major life challenges. She works collaboratively with clients, drawing on their innate capacity to heal and grow while encouraging higher self guidance and personal empowerment. Laurie helps individuals explore the life lessons embedded in difficult experiences to support fuller expression of their strengths and values.

Trained in cognitive psychodynamic therapy and energy psychology, she integrates tapping/EFT, meditation, and centering practices to help neutralize intense emotions arising from past trauma or present stress. Those techniques are used to promote emotion regulation and the re-integration of fragmented experiences so clients can move toward greater wholeness. Laurie places strong emphasis on relationship work - helping people resolve conflict, identify emotional triggers, and communicate with clear personal ownership to build closeness and relational safety. She supports clients in restructuring old relational patterns so intimate connections become more secure and satisfying.

Laurie also guides clients who want to take risks for positive change, addressing limiting beliefs that block a sense of worthiness or the ability to manifest intentions. With a deep interest in spiritual teachings and present-moment awareness, she encourages non-attachment to outcomes while helping clients access growth opportunities within challenges. Laurie is committed to helping people increase self-trust, reframe negative thinking, and move beyond fears that hold them back, finding it a privilege to accompany others on their personal journeys.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Laurie integrates cognitive psychodynamic therapy, which combines insight-oriented exploration of early relational patterns with attention to current thoughts and behaviors to help people understand how past experiences shape present reactions. This approach is useful for addressing attachment issues, relationship conflict, and repetitive emotional patterns. She also uses energy psychology techniques, including tapping and EFT, alongside meditation and centering practices to help reduce intense emotional arousal and support emotion regulation after trauma or during stressful life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laurie works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the therapeutic work fits the individual’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow work to continue through life changes, and let people engage in therapeutic practices from familiar settings while maintaining the continuity of care that supports meaningful progress.
