About Lorey

These methods are often used for coping with panic attacks, sleep problems, anger, and impulsivity.
Lorey has 12 years of experience working with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm concerns. She also supports people navigating blended family issues, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, and questions about gender identity or non-monogamous relationships. Her work is practical and straightforward.
She helps people build skills for day-to-day life and supports them through major changes. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches that work online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them set goals and decide what to work on. This approach helps people feel heard and more involved in their own care.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life exercises. It often includes journaling and practice tasks to reduce anxiety, panic attacks, sleep problems, and depressive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can be helpful for impulsivity, anger, and self-harm urges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That collaborative planning helps shape clear, practical steps for change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a busy day, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets clients share updates between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent, practice skills in daily life, and stay connected when schedules or locations change.
