How Lori's Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel understood. It involves open conversation where the therapist follows your concerns, supports your choices, and helps you set goals that matter to you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to test unhelpful thoughts, change small behaviors, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. That approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple practices. It can help reduce reactivity, manage distress, and increase awareness of body sensations and emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts plans over time so sessions remain practical and relevant.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or letting someone choose a quieter location. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can use these approaches effectively in remote work when they are suited to a client's needs.
