Background and approach

She uses clear, goal-oriented conversations to help people manage day-to-day stress and persistent anxiety.

She frames clients as the experts on their lives and looks for strengths to use in problem solving.

Rorie has practiced in varied care settings, which gives her experience with both crisis-oriented work and longer-term counseling. That background informs a flexible approach to scheduling and how sessions are paced. She emphasizes realistic, manageable goals rather than quick fixes.

Therapy often focuses on practical skills - managing cravings, building confidence, and handling life changes. Rorie supports people who want straightforward help getting unstuck, improving mood, and reducing worry. She encourages early steps and celebrates progress along the way.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Makebia Rorie uses practical, evidence-based techniques aimed at relieving anxiety and improving mood. One common method focuses on teaching coping skills and daily routines that reduce stress and manage anxious thoughts. This approach helps people build predictable habits and small, repeatable actions that lower distress over time.

Another area emphasizes behavioral strategies for addictions and low motivation. These techniques break large problems into small steps, set achievable goals, and track progress to keep momentum going. They are useful for people who want concrete tools for cravings, urges, or shaky motivation.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. Sessions often revise the plan as progress is made so the approach stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different rhythms and needs. Video lets people read cues and have focused conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging allow quick updates, brief reflections between sessions, and flexible timing that fits a busy day. Together these options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into everyday life.
