Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so the client can set the pace and goals. It helps people clarify what matters and feel heard before moving on to change work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at heart-of-the-matter thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. It is useful when someone wants practical skills for managing reactions and daily stressors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that affect close relationships. This approach is often used when communication problems or attachment concerns are a central issue.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Lori will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual's comfort.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face work and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, coping prompts, and keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied circumstances.
