About Lori
Lori Centineo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Lori draws on a warm, empathetic manner to create a calm space for people to talk through what matters most to them.
How Lori works
She describes therapy as a team effort where the person seeking help leads the work. Lori uses plain language and practical tools so conversations translate into everyday life. She listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people set manageable goals that fit their routines.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work and a decade of clinical experience. Before social work, she taught elementary school, which shaped how she explains ideas simply and clearly. That teaching experience also informs how she supports parents and caregivers who want concrete strategies.
Lori blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and narrative approaches to tailor sessions. She matches methods to each person’s needs and adjusts plans as progress unfolds. Sessions focus on usable skills and clearer ways of thinking and relating.
People who work with Lori can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere and step-by-step plans for change. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

How Lori’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the person’s pace. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want from therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.Lori treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as progress is made so treatment fits the individual’s needs and daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video lets people work face-to-face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower-bandwidth option is required or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, on-the-go reflection, or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments and let therapists use the approaches above in flexible ways.
