Online Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more constructive alternatives. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges and provides practical skills for coping and problem solving.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills for staying present and observing thoughts and emotions without judgment. This approach can reduce reactivity to stress, improve emotional regulation, and support overall well-being by helping people respond more intentionally in difficult moments.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and strengths rather than on problems alone. It helps clients build on what already works in their lives and develop concrete steps toward desired changes, making it useful for time-limited work and goal-oriented issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lori collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access to care. Lori provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication styles and life demands, making it simpler for people to engage consistently in their work toward change and healing.
