About Lorie
Lorie Boyd is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 26 years of experience who helps people manage strong feelings and life changes. She works with people facing anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship strain. Lorie focuses on practical steps clients can use each week to feel steadier and more in control.
Her style is warm and client-centered. She listens closely and adapts to each person’s needs. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and taking small actions that lead to change.
Background and approach
Lorie also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice the thoughts that fuel difficult emotions. She helps clients test those thoughts and build new habits that reduce stress and reactivity over time. With a focus on multicultural concerns, she pays attention to how prejudice, discrimination, and life experience shape feelings and choices.
That context guides how she frames goals and interventions. Clients commonly bring issues such as family problems, parenting stress, grief, intimacy concerns, post-traumatic stress, and struggles with self-esteem or codependency. Lorie helps people break problems into manageable steps and practice skills between sessions.
She holds a Washington and New York LMHC credential and works from New York. Conversations are held in English and designed to fit a person’s life and schedule.

How client-centered and CBT approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and helping people set goals that matter to them. This approach helps when someone needs space to name feelings and decide what changes they want to make.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving. It often involves short exercises and practical homework to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. They will try methods and adjust them based on what actually helps the person move forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and run longer talk sessions. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
