How Lori’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and big life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people practice different ways of responding to stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape trust and closeness, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lori will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts pace and strategies in response to what is working and what feels useful for the client.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, and remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between in-person appointments, practice skills in real time, or maintain consistent care during life transitions. Confirm current session options before scheduling to find what fits your routine.
