How evidence-based techniques work online
Lori draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems like anxiety and depression. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them in daily life to reduce panic and persistent worry. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and routines to manage stress, fatigue, and chronic health challenges. These methods are practical and often include homework between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with each person about goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the client’s needs and preferences central to the work.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work when longer conversation and visual cues help. Phone sessions can be handy when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer greater flexibility for quick reflections, brief support, or ongoing written check-ins between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
