Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online care
In her practice Lori draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods alongside mindfulness-based techniques to address a range of concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to support personal growth and self-understanding - this approach can be especially helpful for self-esteem, relationship, and attachment-related issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, offering tools to manage stress, emotional reactivity, and urges.Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lori works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy aligns with what the individual finds most helpful. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to each person’s values and stage of change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and therapists can also support clients through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent treatment into busy lives, support continuity of care across locations, and provide multiple ways for clients to engage with licensed professionals and therapists in a format that suits them.
