Background and approach
That plain, human connection is central to how she helps clients set goals and try new ways of coping. Her work draws on practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to help people find what matters and stay motivated.
Those approaches are used to address things like compulsions, codependency, isolation, and guilt. With six years of clinical experience, Lorinda has worked with adults on issues across the lifespan, including aging and hospice-related concerns. She offers support for people facing trauma, domestic violence effects, and grief, and for those struggling with hoarding or obsessive behaviors.
Sessions take a collaborative tone. Lorinda helps people set small, achievable steps and adjusts the plan as needs change. Her aim is to help clients build sustainable coping skills and clearer thinking about next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts or feelings. It often helps with anxiety, life changes, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, compulsions, and low self-esteem.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that match goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress and needs change. Sessions combine practical skill-building with time to reflect on what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for engaging in this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or short reflections between sessions and can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity with care despite a busy schedule.
