Laura Jones

Hello, I’m Laura J. Jones, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York and New Jersey with over 15 years of experience. It is my passion to help support others in reaching their full potential through progress not perfection.

My areas of expertise include: social-emotional regulation, stress, anxiety and depression, trauma, communication barriers, family/relationship problems and personal growth/self-esteem.

I specialize in many treatment modalities. Some include Evidence-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy. I have a specific passion for working with teens, young adults and adults. As we know adolescence can be one of the most challenging developmental stages filled with parent/child relationship strains, peer influences and self-discovery. Young adulthood is a time of evolution and adulthood can be a balancing act. With compassion and understanding, I work with individuals, couples and families to help them build on their strengths, address their needs and accomplish their goals.

One of my favorite quotes is by Pablo Picasso, “The MEANING of life is to find your gift, the PURPOSE in life is to give it away!” and I strive daily to do just that. Looking forward to working with you!

I provide a supportive and safe space for individuals seeking personal growth, healing, and emotional well-being. My work focuses on empowering clients to recognize their own “superpowers,” build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence and self-awareness. Through a direct, strengths-based and client-centered approach, I offer counseling services designed to support individuals in developing healthier coping strategies, finding boundaries and balance, improving emotional wellness as a means in working toward meaningful life goals.

My priority is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from the very beginning.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your concerns, and begin identifying your goals. You are encouraged to share at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is built on trust, collaboration, and authenticity. Together, we'll create a foundation where you feel comfortable asking questions, expressing yourself openly, and working toward meaningful and lasting change.
