How Lori's approaches can work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes building a trusting relationship and listening closely to what matters most to the individual. This approach helps people set goals and feel supported as they work through stress, grief, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions by teaching concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with intense feelings that affect relationships. When communication or connection issues are central, EFT provides a way to identify emotions and practice new, more effective responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays relevant and practical.
