LCSW Licensure Supervision

Experience and Postgraduate Education

Hi! I’m Laura Fonseca, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Missouri, with over ten years of experience as a clinical therapist. My background includes conducting assessments in local emergency departments, providing individual and group therapy in school settings, and facilitating therapy in both inpatient and outpatient environments for individuals, groups, and families.

After earning my master’s degree in 2013, I recognized the need for further training to deliver high-quality therapy. This led me to complete a two-year post-graduate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute.

Supervision Philosophy


Inspired by the mentors who provided me with valuable insight, feedback, and tools that shaped my therapeutic practice, I became certified as an LCSW clinical supervisor in 2021. Since then, I’ve supervised numerous therapists. I strive to create a supportive space where supervisees can process their experiences in the social work field while offering guidance and education to foster their professional growth.
