Lorri Romesberg, LICSW

Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts who blends practical therapy methods with a warm, person-centered style. She draws on ten years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship or parenting concerns. Lorri uses straightforward tools so clients can see small changes that add up over time.

Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered listening and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on real-life problems such as sleep trouble, anger, grief, and life transitions. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and build coping routines that fit daily life.

Lorri has a master's degree in social work from Boston University and a bachelor's degree from Cornell University. Over her career she worked in emergency services and with families affected by abuse and neglect, which shaped her practical focus on safety and clear next steps. That background also informs her support for adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and trauma recovery.

She offers care for a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, LGBTQ matters, gender dysphoria, bipolar and mood concerns, ADHD, career stress, and questions about life purpose or midlife change. In sessions she aims to make goals concrete and measurable so progress is easier to notice.

Lorri conducts sessions in English and practices in Massachusetts. She collaborates with each person to build a plan that matches their goals, pace, and daily routines.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better and testing small changes to see what helps; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and listening so the client guides the pace and topics, which helps people feel heard and clarify goals. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Choosing the right blend of approaches happens together. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust over time. That collaborative process helps match tools to problems like parenting struggles, relationship strains, trauma recovery, or mood regulation needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer weekly sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let someone keep momentum between sessions or communicate during busy days. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, caregiving, and other obligations.
