Approaches for anxiety and everyday stress
Many of Lori's methods are evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional awareness. One common approach teaches people concrete coping strategies for anxiety and overwhelming stress, such as grounding techniques, breathing practices, and short behavioral experiments to test fears. This kind of work helps when anxiety gets in the way of daily routines and functioning.Another frequently used approach helps people process trauma and reduce its ongoing impact. It involves gradual exposure to difficult memories while building skills to manage strong emotions. This method aims to decrease reactivity and improve day-to-day comfort around triggering situations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then tailor the techniques she uses. Together they decide which strategies to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
