Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lorine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing emotions and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to help people cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness techniques can support coping with stress, mood fluctuations, and relationship strain.

For those affected by traumatic experiences, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the specific impact of trauma, helping clients process painful memories and build safety and resilience. These approaches reflect evidence-informed methods commonly used by licensed professionals and therapists. Lorine approaches treatment collaboratively - she will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to receive consistent support from Michigan or abroad, allowing therapy to fit into varied routines and life circumstances.
