Laurel Eigner

Laurel Eigner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 20 years of clinical experience in Connecticut. She presents herself as kind, empathetic, and easygoing. Laurel aims to create a relaxed space where people can talk through what feels hard right now.

She has worked extensively with people facing depression and anxiety, and with those needing crisis stabilization. Laurel also has experience supporting adults, young adults, and older adults through life changes and grief. She helps with stress, self-esteem struggles, workplace challenges, and career questions.

Laurel uses practical methods to help people manage symptoms and restore daily functioning. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build different, more helpful habits. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help with grounding and emotional regulation.

People often come to her for help with panic attacks, bipolar mood concerns, relationship difficulties, or compassion fatigue from demanding work. Laurel listens first, then helps create a step-by-step plan that fits each person’s pace and goals. She emphasizes small, workable changes rather than sudden overhauls.

If isolation or loneliness is part of the concern, Laurel addresses connection and routine as part of care. Her approach blends practical coping tools with steady support so people can regain confidence functioning day to day.

How Laurel uses CBT and mindfulness online

Laurel draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In simple, practical steps she helps clients test new ways of thinking and build routines that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach grounding and present-moment awareness. These practices can help calm the body during panic, reduce rumination, and improve focus during stressful days.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Laurel collaborates with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and tools over time so the plan fits how someone actually lives and copes.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the places they spend their day. Licensed professionals can offer the same structured exercises, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices over distance that they do in person.
