Lori also focuses on problems with sleep, eating, intimacy, and career pressures. Her approach leans on methods that break big problems into smaller steps. She helps people build skills for coping, problem solving, and managing emotions.
Lori also offers support for those dealing with end-of-life or hospice-related stress and for people navigating aging and intellectual disability related challenges. Sessions are customized to the person's goals and pace. Lori emphasizes collaboration and practical tools so people can try changes that fit their daily life and family demands.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or handle ADHD-related struggles. Sessions tend to include goal setting, skill practice, and short assignments to try between meetings.Therapy with Lori is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and daily life. Finding the right approach often means trying strategies together and adjusting as progress is made.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can work well when a shorter check-in or hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or skill coaching into a busy day. These options aim to make regular work on goals more flexible and easier to maintain.
