Her style is warm, interactive, and supportive. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on treating each person with dignity and respect.
Background and approach
She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers the client's own goals in planning work together. Loretta draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. That mix lets her tailor strategies to what a person needs right now, whether that means learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking, or finding small steps that build momentum.
She has worked across many concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, career and life transitions, panic and mood disorders, chronic pain, illness, and disability. In sessions she helps people spot patterns, weigh choices, and set realistic steps toward change. Loretta aims to guide clients through steady, practical work so they can regain enjoyment and purpose.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports people in developing habits that stick.
How her methods translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's lead, reflect feelings, and help clarify what matters most in daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In online CBT sessions a therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking, try out different actions, and practice skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides whether more skills-based CBT, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused steps are emphasized.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style prompts, or written reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistency and carry new skills into daily life.
