She brings 18 years of experience to conversations about self-esteem, confidence, and depression.

She works with people facing family concerns and life transitions, including blended family issues and caregiver stress. Torie also addresses communication problems, family of origin issues, and forgiveness work.
How Torie works
Her practice includes support for immigration-related stress, workplace pressures, and questions about life purpose. Torie employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which she adapts to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and small changes that add up over time.
She keeps sessions respectful, direct, and rooted in everyday language rather than clinical jargon. People often seek her help for social anxiety, isolation, and impulsivity. She also attends to multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
Women’s issues and challenges tied to balancing responsibilities are part of her regular focus. Her Florida license and long tenure mean she has worked in varied settings and with many kinds of life stress. Torie tailors conversation and plans to each person’s needs and circumstances.
She encourages anyone who feels overwhelmed to take a careful next step toward support.

Online support options
CBT and practical strategies for online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It uses exercises and homework to build skills that carry over between sessions and helps with issues like social anxiety, workplace stress, and low mood.In online sessions Torie adapts CBT techniques into conversations and short exercises that fit the format. She will work collaboratively to find which methods feel most useful, checking in about goals and adjusting the plan as needed. Figuring out the right approach is part of the first few meetings, and clients play an active role in choosing what to try.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and guided exercises. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, written reflections, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These choices aim to make scheduling simpler and to match the way a person likes to communicate.
