Therapeutic approaches and online care
Margaret Lorenz uses approaches grounded in practical skills and individualized understanding. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that supports the person's own capacity to explore choices and grow - it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Margaret works collaboratively with people to identify which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online care offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support when in-person options are limited. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver focused, goal-oriented work while adapting methods to each person's circumstances.
