Laura Bodrog, LCSW
About me
I am a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with an Anxiety Treatment Professional with Children and Adolescents Certification and a Certified School Social Worker. I am currently a School Social Worker working in a High School. I have about 20 years of experience working with youth in settings ranging from youth residential facilities, hospitals, and both alternative and public school settings. I also hold an Educational Supervisor Certification.
I would like to note that at this time, I am only seeing clients via Chat Therapy.
I take the time to really get to know my clients so that a treatment plan that works for them can be utilized. My approach is warm and caring and I think it is extremely important to actually take the time to get to know who I am working with. I enjoy getting to know my clients so that they can feel comfortable participating in therapy. I believe the most important thing in a therapeutic relationship is to build that relationship and trust and to remember to have a conversation with your client; to treat them with respect and compassion. Making them feel validated for their feelings and that there is someone that is ready and willing to listen, is something that I feel is one of my strengths.
I am here and willing to support you in your courageous step towards a more positive future.

When I first started seeing Laura I was nervous because I work in the mental health field and I was concerned how it would seem to be a professional seeking a professional. She has been kind and thorough she listens to my stresses with compassion and no judgement and helps me organize my chaotic thoughts. I have found an improvement in my well being over the last few months of seeing her.
