How Lori’s approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional experiences and how they shape relationships; it can help people understand attachment, intimacy struggles, and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lori will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, EFT, or a blend of techniques feels most useful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commuting time. Online work also supports practicing skills between sessions in daily life and keeping momentum during transitions.
