How Lori’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s needs and priorities, letting the therapist follow what matters most in the moment and support the client’s goals. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space and collaborative problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying small experiments to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger by teaching step-by-step skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and practice new ways of responding in relationships; it can be helpful for intimacy concerns and communication problems.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lori works with each person to see which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. She will suggest options, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps most in ongoing sessions.
The biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to join from different locations. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT worksheets so they work during remote sessions and support steady progress without requiring in-person visits.
