Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Lori uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the individual’s own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps people deepen self-awareness and strengthen self-compassion during times of change. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more constructive patterns, a useful method for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. In addition, Lori integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal interaction, which can be particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lori works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adapting techniques over time so the work remains practical and personally meaningful. A licensed professional will partner with the client to find the best fit rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy with Lori offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care from home. These options increase accessibility and allow therapists to deliver focused, skills-based work in formats that match each client’s day-to-day life.
