How Lori’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means listening closely, reflecting what someone says, and helping them discover their own next steps. This approach is useful when people need acceptance and a steady place to sort things out.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches simple experiments and new habits to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. This can help with stress, sleep problems, and low mood.
Emotionally-focused ideas pay attention to feelings in relationships and close connections. They help people name emotions and try different ways of responding when intimacy or communication is a concern.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what works. Decisions about techniques are made together rather than imposed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps about what will fit into your routine and what you hope to achieve.
