How Lori's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps with stress, relationship issues, and decisions about life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions, then work on stronger emotional bonds and communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lori will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
