Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. It is helpful for people seeking a collaborative relationship to explore values, identity, and life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-based approach that examines patterns of thought and behavior to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skill-building in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lori works with each person to identify goals, assess what methods resonate, and adjust techniques collaboratively so the plan fits the client’s needs, priorities, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life or access therapists from different locations. These options support consistent contact, timely skill practice between sessions, and more ways to communicate that align with a client’s comfort and schedule, while still drawing on evidence-based approaches delivered by licensed professionals.
