She favors approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building new behaviors.

These approaches guide how she structures sessions and practices skills between visits.
Lori keeps things practical and goal-oriented so progress is easy to track. People who choose her often want clear techniques they can use outside of sessions. Lori emphasizes skill building, emotional awareness, and better coping during everyday challenges.
She supports each person’s pace while helping them move toward greater stability and confidence.
How these approaches work online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges because it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It often includes techniques for mindfulness, emotion regulation, and practical problem solving that people can use in stressful moments.
EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories so those memories cause less emotional disruption. When appropriate, it can be used for trauma-related symptoms alongside other therapies.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past treatment experiences, and day-to-day needs to decide which methods fit best. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what isn’t.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people work in depth and use visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text work well for quick check-ins or brief skills practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and keep progress moving forward.
