Laura Ucci

Laura Ucci brought her professional roots in social work — established in 2012 and culminating in her LCSW credential in 2019 — to a private telehealth practice, Serenity Pathways Counseling, where she works with adults navigating some of life’s harder passages. Her foundation is a conviction that hardship is something to move through, not suppress: clients are never told to push past what hurts or tough it out, but rather to understand it and find a way forward that fits them.

She works primarily with people carrying the weight of trauma, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, grief, and the kind of mounting life stress that can leave caregivers and others feeling depleted. When arguments spill into text threads and go unresolved for days, or when a relationship slowly frays because one person is always half-absent behind a screen, those are exactly the patterns Laura helps clients examine and change. Sessions draw on DBT, CBT, psychoeducation, and communication skill-building — always shaped around each client’s particular needs, because Laura treats the person in front of her, not a diagnosis.

Laura accepts Optum, Aetna, and Cigna, offers self-pay on a sliding scale, and provides a free 15-minute consultation for anyone considering working with her.
