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.
