Lorri Romesberg

Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with ten years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and questions about identity. Her work began in emergency services for children and with families affected by abuse and neglect. Over time she added evaluations for juvenile courts and broadened her focus to adoption, foster care, and family of origin issues. That early work shaped her interest in attachment, abandonment, and the long-term effects of trauma. Lorri uses a person-centered way of working. She listens first, then builds a plan that fits each person’s needs. She also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotion management and coping. Her approach includes exploring patterns that come from family history and life transitions. She helps people talk through communication problems, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports clients facing gender identity questions and LGBT-related concerns. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. Lorri helps people develop new skills for anger, sleep problems, and mood swings, and she supports those navigating career changes, midlife questions, or recovery from infidelity. Her aim is to help people make changes that fit their everyday life.

How client-centered and skills-based therapy works online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It begins with open listening and helping people set their own goals, which is useful for concerns like relationship strain, identity questions, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when anger or intense feelings are a problem.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which methods match a person's needs and preferences, and they may combine approaches to fit goals and circumstances.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel when appointments would otherwise be difficult to reach. Licensed professionals can still guide skill practice, homework, and progress tracking using these methods, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
