How Lori Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Many evidence-based approaches focus on teaching practical skills people can use right away. For example, cognitive strategies help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and self-doubt. Behavioral techniques focus on small, structured steps that build confidence and reduce avoidance, which can help with panic, social anxiety, and workplace challenges.Another useful set of methods addresses the aftermath of trauma by helping people regain a sense of safety and control through pacing, stabilization exercises, and rebuilding daily routines. These approaches aim to reduce overwhelm and increase a person's ability to cope with difficult memories or triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when video would be distracting or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
