I am a professional counselor licensed in New Jersey with over 10 years of experience working as a Counselor helping with transitions and fostering growth. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, phase of life, academic concerns, parenting problems, college and career readiness. I also helped many people who have struggled to be their genuine self.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and that everyone has a unique story that shapes and interacts with how they currently live their life. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client empowerment, narrative, systemic and psychoeducational therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I am here to help you find direction. It's a journey that may be hard at times, but that's ok, you are ultimately in control and it is okay to be nervous.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura Pascal. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is very thoughtful and connects the clients life to a more holistic understanding of psychology and the human experience! She fine-tunes each session to your specific needs and cares about her clients.

Laura has been very helpful so far with helping me manage my anxiety. We have only had a couple sessions so far but I have found it helpful and she asks very thought provoking questions and suggests ways to help.
