Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more constructive patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques for managing difficult emotions and reducing reactivity, which can support coping with grief, trauma responses, and ongoing stress. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear goals and identifying small, achievable steps to move toward those goals, making it useful for clients seeking concrete change and short-term progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lori works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques and strategies best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and connect with licensed professionals from their own environments, making it easier to engage consistently in treatment.
