Welcome. My name is Lauren Peffer LCSWR and I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York with over 24 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings. I offer a listening ear, and a safe space to express/explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I genuinely believe in the value and worth of all people as well as their ability to make positive change and growth. Through the process of change, I use evidence-based treatments with a warm and compassionate approach to providing quality care for my clients. I am look forward to assisting you on this journey to become more empowered and self-aware. We can work as a team to help you become a better communicator, identify and utilize effective coping skills, improve your esteem, and set boundaries within your relationships. I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, and numerous other life stressors. I use a variety of treatment approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and am person-centered in my approach.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am committed to tailoring all treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs.
I know it takes courage to seek support for 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.

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.
