How Lori’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals before picking techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches simple, practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices to notice feelings and reduce reactivity, helping with rumination and panic.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts tools based on progress and feedback so the plan stays useful and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone share updates between sessions or have shorter touchpoints when life is busy. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while using the approaches above to make steady progress.
