How Lori’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and priorities so goals come from the client. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to clarify values and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that keep coming back. Sessions include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lori will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and past experience and will adapt methods as needed. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most helpful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls are good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a short break or low-bandwidth moments, and live chat or text messaging work for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep consistent contact and practice new skills in daily life.
