Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy is about listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard, clarify goals, and build confidence to try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It often uses short exercises and homework to practice skills between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy works with emotional patterns and attachment needs in relationships; it helps people understand how emotions drive interactions and how to create new responses that improve connection.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will review goals, preferences, and current challenges to select methods that fit each person's situation. She adapts techniques over time if something isn’t working, so the client and therapist make decisions together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when a live conversation is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or writing through thoughts between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and practice new skills in everyday life.
