How Lori works

When relationship or intimacy issues come up, Lori approaches them with emotionally focused ideas and clear communication work. She also supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar disorder, parenting strain, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns.
Expect practical strategies, active listening, and a sense of humor when appropriate. Lori works with a broad range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, blended family dynamics, domestic violence, and even kink-related topics.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build trust and identify goals. This approach is useful for many issues including self-esteem, grief, and identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often involves short exercises and homework that fit well into remote sessions and helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to help people notice and change patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and practicing new responses. It is helpful for intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they’ll try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is needed. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer written check-ins, need quick support between sessions, or have routines that make scheduled talk difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work lives.
