About Lorri
Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. She brings ten years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma, and relationship strain. Her work also includes supporting those facing adoption and foster care concerns and related attachment questions.
Lorri uses a person-centered style that adapts to each person’s needs. She blends client-centered ideas with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on learning manageable skills, understanding patterns, and setting small goals that fit day-to-day life.
Early in her career she worked in emergency services and supported families affected by abuse, neglect, and mental health problems. That experience shaped how she approaches safety, assessment, and ongoing care. It also informed her work on parenting, grief, and complex life transitions.
Clients can expect a collaborative pace where their goals guide the work. Lorri helps people identify problems, experiment with new ways of coping, and track what feels helpful. She emphasizes practical strategies for managing strong emotions and improving communication.
Her academic background includes a master of social work from Boston University and a bachelor of social work from Cornell University. As an LICSW she draws on clinical skills developed across settings to support personal change and stronger day-to-day functioning.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist provides empathy and supports people in naming goals, making it useful for relationship concerns, life changes, and identity questions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical strategies such as behavioral experiments, thought records, and activity planning to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve sleep.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is often used when strong emotions, intense reactions, or relationship difficulties make everyday life harder.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and to adjust techniques over time. Together they review what helps and change course when needed.
