Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Laurie Orbeck’s work draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with solution-focused techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and strengths, helping clients identify actionable steps and small changes that move them toward what matters most.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laurie collaborates with each person to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time so the work remains useful and relevant. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy with Laurie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats increase flexibility, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and use a communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can deliver effective treatment through these modalities while working with clients to apply therapeutic skills between sessions.
