Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the person's lead to build understanding and trust. It helps when someone needs a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems that benefit from step-by-step practice. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity through simple exercises in awareness and breathing; it can support stress, grief, and attention challenges.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. She often mixes practical skill-building with reflective conversation so the plan can change as things evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face across distances. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship.
