Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more productive alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment, which can be especially useful for substance use and behavior change goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, supporting stress management and coping with difficult emotions.

Lora works collaboratively with individuals to determine which approaches fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these methods to each person s situation, adjusting as progress is made so the therapeutic plan remains aligned with the client s priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while still focusing on effective, goal-oriented work.
