About Lori
Lori Thompson-Maranda is a licensed clinical social worker in New York. She draws on 15 years of professional experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She meets each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Lori adapts conversation and planning to fit what each person needs. She focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions as well as what happens in the room.
How Lori works
Her practice also addresses attachment issues, body image, chronic pain, illness and disability, and communication problems. She supports people dealing with control issues, impulsivity, and life direction. Workplace strain, women's issues, and social anxiety are other areas she addresses.
Lori works with post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, mood disorders, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current relationships and self-view. The aim is to build skills and insight that make daily life more manageable.
Sessions are shaped around each person's goals and pace. Lori helps people set realistic steps and checks in on progress. She encourages small changes that add up to real improvement.

Approaches and Online Options for Care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and understanding how past experiences affect present life. One approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic attacks by practicing breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to fears. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment to improve communication, trust, and self-worth for people struggling with body image or self-esteem.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This lets the plan change as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow more visual interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, quick coping support, and people who prefer writing over speaking.
