How Lorraine Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and responding with empathy and respect. It helps people talk through what matters most to them and decide their own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal communication. These techniques are useful for coping with stress, intense reactions, and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorraine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that fit. She adjusts the work over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins and short tools between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and use therapy in real life.
