Hello, my name is Laura Christopher. I have been a mental health therapist licensed in New Jersey for over 10 years. In my experience as a therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse array of clients of varying ages and backgrounds. I have worked with clients battling anxiety, depression, relationship issues and coping with life transitions. I have also worked with clients who have experienced emotional and physical trauma.
My counseling style is empathetic, open and warm. I want to assure you that this is a safe space for you to share and explore whatever may be weighing on you. Our therapeutic relationship will be based on trust, compassion, and a desire for growth. I gravitate towards humanistic psychology with a focus on cognitive behavioral explorations. However, I approach every client as an individual and develop a treatment specifically tailor to each client's needs.
I have always been drawn to helping people; even more so, I feel passionate about allowing people a safe space to ask for help without stigmatisms or judgements. Taking the first steps toward a better, more fulfilling life takes courage and vulnerability. I am committed to my clients’ well-being and guiding them through their emotional struggles. I believe mental health therapists are compasses for clients to find their path to a happier self. Along this path, clients are faced with obstacles that may be difficult to understand or put meaning behind. I am committed to helping you through those obstacles.
I look forward taking this journey with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Laura has been wonderful. So grateful for her support and guidance. She’s warm, insightful and overall a great therapist. Would highly recommend :)
Working with Laura as my counselor has been an absolute game changer. Not only has she helped me change my outlook during these trying times she has helped me with my relationship and in dealing with work and family. I could not imagine how I would be managing without her. Her style, level of attention and care have turned a once skeptic into someone who truly understands and appreciates the need for counseling. I recommend her to all who need counseling as well as those who don't know they need it yet.
Laura is very helpful and she stuck to my main concern for as long as I needed to. Definitely changed a lot for me and was very helpful for me.
Laura is absolutely wonderful. She's kind, understanding, wise, and so helpful. During this period of time, I'm already feeling better and like a weight is being lifted. Thank you for helping me so quickly when I truly needed it the most!
