About Lorie
Lorie Muellenbach is a licensed psychologist practicing in Arizona. She brings nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and ADHD. Lorie uses practical strategies so clients can make small changes that add up over time.
Her work is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on understanding what feels overwhelming and building skills to handle strong emotions and impulsive reactions. She aims to balance emotional support with hands-on problem solving so clients leave with things to try between appointments.
Background and approach
Lorie has worked with people at many life stages, including teens, adults, and older adults. That experience helps her tailor suggestions to the realities of school, work, caregiving, and later-life transitions. She also has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent, including those with attention differences and learning differences.
In sessions she listens closely and helps people name patterns that maintain anger, anxiety, or low mood. From there she and the client plan straightforward steps to change unhelpful habits and improve communication. The emphasis is on skills that can be practiced in daily life.
Lorie holds a California psychologist license, CA Psychologist 33283, and an Arizona psychologist license, AZ Psychologist PSY-006099. She offers several remote session formats to fit different schedules and circumstances.

Practical therapies for emotion and behavior online
Many of Lorie's techniques draw from evidence-based therapeutic methods that teach concrete skills. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, mood symptoms, and anger. These methods are useful when patterns of thinking and reacting keep problems going.Skills-based emotion regulation work helps people notice early signs of anger or overwhelm and use specific tools to calm down or choose a different response. This can include breathing and grounding strategies, step-by-step plans for managing impulsivity, and rehearsal of communication skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorie works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, lifestyle, and what has or hasn’t worked before. She adjusts plans over time based on how well strategies fit day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let therapists and clients use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share short updates, practice skills between sessions, and keep consistent contact when schedules are tight. These options can help make care fit around school, work, and caregiving demands.
