About Torey
Torey LaMothe is a licensed professional counselor with 39 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and midlife transitions. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and build practical strategies for day-to-day coping.
She uses straightforward methods to help clients manage emotions and improve relationships. Sessions focus on small, usable steps - practicing skills, trying new ways to communicate, and noticing patterns that hold people back. Torey emphasizes respect and cultural awareness in every conversation.
Her background spans many areas, including addiction, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment difficulties, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and challenges linked to adoption and foster care. This variety reflects long clinical experience across different life stages and problems.
Torey draws on several approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She matches strategies to what each person needs and prefers rather than using a single method for everyone.
People who meet with her work on clear goals like improving communication, coping with life changes, or reducing anxiety. The focus is practical: make small changes that lead to steadier days and more satisfying relationships. If you want straightforward support for midlife concerns or other long-standing struggles, she helps people take the next steps.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Torey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take manageable action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy helps when patterns in relationships and early bonds affect current connections and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Torey collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make ongoing work possible when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals adapt tools from ACT, CBT, and attachment work to remote conversations so that problem-solving, skills practice, and relationship work can move forward without losing focus.
