How Lori’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they hear, and helps people feel heard so they can decide next steps. This approach is useful for worries about relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, anger, and depression.
Lori treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, adjusting techniques as progress is made. That collaborative decision-making helps people stay engaged and focused on what matters most to them.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy routines. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and tools between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or other commitments.
