Approaches that guide online care and growth

Two evidence-based approaches commonly used in Lori’s work focus on building coping skills and addressing painful memories. One approach centers on teaching practical coping tools for anxiety and depression, such as breathing techniques, behavioral experiments, and simple routines that reduce overwhelm. These tools help people manage symptoms day to day and regain a sense of control.

A second approach concentrates on processing trauma-related experiences through structured conversations and paced exploration. This method helps people make sense of painful events, reduce their hold on current life, and slowly rebuild confidence and safety in daily activities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods for a few sessions and adjust the plan based on what helps most, combining practical skill-building with deeper personal work when needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let sessions feel close to in-person meetings, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
