How Lori Uses Practical Approaches Online

Lori commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on small, manageable changes in thoughts and actions that can ease anxiety and depression. Acceptance and commitment therapy is also part of her work, helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most in life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what works in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to improve flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text sessions provide shorter, more frequent touchpoints for between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still using evidence-informed approaches.
