How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is practical and skill-based, which many people find helpful for daily stressors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person in front of the therapist, offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to support self-understanding and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and shifting course when needed so therapy fits the client rather than the other way around.

Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins around work breaks, avoiding travel time, or using a phone call when camera use is difficult. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools in session as in-person, focusing on skills, values-based action, and emotional processing while helping clients manage stress and anxiety in everyday settings.
