Lori centers her work on each person's values and goals while keeping conversations practical and goal-oriented.
She combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies. That means Lori helps people notice how thoughts affect feelings, try small behavioral changes, and set clear short-term goals.

How Lori's Approaches Work Online
Lori uses client-centered listening to create a space where people can say what matters to them. This approach focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building sessions around their values and priorities. Client-centered work can help when someone needs acceptance and clearer personal direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people see how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. In sessions Lori guides people to test small changes, track results, and replace unhelpful thinking patterns with more useful ones. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress that gets in the way of daily life.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals. Lori uses this approach to help people identify what will make a difference soon and to build on what already works. It is useful for parenting challenges, coping with life changes, and focused problem-solving.
Finding the right blend of methods is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then try approaches that fit. Adjustments are made as needed so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer short, ongoing contact between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when travel or time zones change.
