Laura Powers, LCSW

Laura Powers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a mental health professional with advanced training in social work and clinical therapy. She earned her Master of Social Work from the University at Buffalo in 2009 and has spent more than a decade supporting individuals through a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, mood disorders, and challenges related to parenting and relationships.

Her work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change often begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship and greater self-awareness. Laura aims to create a space where people can talk openly about what they are going through without fear of judgment, especially during times that feel overwhelming or uncertain. She brings a warm, compassionate, and open-minded presence to sessions, while helping clients explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, and move toward the changes they want to make.

Laura draws from multiple counseling methods to meet each person where they are, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies informed by DBT, solution-focused techniques, and a person-centered style that keeps the client’s values, goals, and pace at the center. Whether someone is navigating a difficult season, working toward personal growth, or simply needing supportive listening, she offers steady guidance throughout the process.
