Torey LaMothe , LPC

Torey LaMothe is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 39 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. She also supports those facing grief, relationship or intimacy concerns and people wrestling with self-esteem, career changes, parenting strains, or ADHD.

Her style is calm and straightforward. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps that make daily life easier. She creates space for people to tell their story, sort through painful feelings, and try skills that can reduce distress.

Torey uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include cognitive work to change unhelpful thinking, emotion-focused strategies to deepen connection, and acceptance-based ideas to reduce struggle with painful thoughts. She draws on methods that encourage clearer communication and stronger emotion regulation.

She brings many years of practice in Mississippi to work with a wide range of concerns. Her experience includes issues around parenting, grief, chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, and identity questions such as LGBT concerns. Clients can expect a respectful, down-to-earth clinician who listens first and works collaboratively.

Practical goals often guide sessions. That might mean learning skills to manage anxiety, setting boundaries in difficult relationships, or creating a plan to cope with life changes. Torey emphasizes steady progress and real-world strategies that people can use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them control actions. It emphasizes values-based goals and practical steps to live in line with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and reacting in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when visual cues matter, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, skill practice, or fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and continue progress even when life is hectic.
