About Loretta
Loretta Harris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Loretta emphasizes each person's strengths and supports them as they take steps toward change.
She approaches therapy as a partnership where the client is the expert on their life. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with clear goals and tools to use between meetings.
Background and approach
Loretta encourages small, doable steps that build confidence and momentum. Her work often includes addressing grief, intimacy-related issues, and complications that come with mood disorders. She also supports people coping with panic attacks, postpartum depression, and the long-term effects of past abuse.
These topics are explored at a pace the client finds manageable. Loretta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to feel better. She tailors that approach to each person's situation and preferences.
The aim is to teach skills that can be used outside of sessions. Therapy is offered in English and provided through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
Costs vary by location and the subscription model can be canceled at any time.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, panic, or low mood. It focuses on small, practical changes that can make daily life easier and lessen anxiety and mood swings.In session the therapist and client work together to pick goals and try exercises that fit real life. This collaborative approach means the therapist will adjust tools and strategies to match the client’s needs, goals, and comfort level. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process and will be revisited as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different life situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels more comfortable.
These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting responsibilities while still working on practical CBT skills and coping strategies with a licensed professional.
