How Lori Uses Practical Therapies Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small meaningful steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It often helps with issues like anxiety, depression, and finding direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for panic, compulsive behaviors, low mood, and everyday stress by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend methods to try. Therapy is collaborative - clients and Lori check progress and adjust tactics when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports short reflections and ongoing contact. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
