How Lory blends evidence-based approaches online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood challenges by giving concrete tools to test thoughts and try different actions.

Mindfulness therapy trains present-moment awareness and gentle attention to feelings and body sensations. This approach can help reduce reactivity to strong emotions and improve day-to-day coping with stress and grief.

Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and what’s already working. It helps clients set short-term goals and move toward them with measurable actions, which can be motivating when facing life transitions or relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on progress and comfort level.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people keep face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions or audio calls can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while matching the format to practical needs.
