How Lori’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy starts by putting the person’s concerns front and center. Lori listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name priorities and strengths. This approach suits people who need a supportive space to make sense of overwhelming feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into specific, changeable steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners or individuals notice and shift patterns that keep them stuck in hurt or disconnection.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Lori partners with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and comfort level. She reviews options together and adjusts the plan as needs change so therapy remains helpful and practical.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on hectic days. Telephone sessions may use less data and be easier when video is not needed. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing, homework, and skill practice so therapy works with everyday schedules rather than against them.
