Background and approach
She customizes discussions and plans so they match real goals and day-to-day routines. She draws on a mix of approaches to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep anxiety or depression active.
Mindfulness-based techniques are used to build calm focus and reduce reactivity. Emotion-focused ideas support clearer connection around relationship and intimacy concerns. Lorinda has long experience helping people cope with trauma, emotional abuse, compassion fatigue, and transitions such as divorce or career shifts.
She also addresses issues like obsessions and compulsions, phobias, body image, and stress faced by caregivers and veterans. Her practice pays attention to identity and LGBT concerns as they relate to life stressors. Sessions are offered from Kansas and conducted in English.
Lorinda works with clients to set achievable steps and practical skills, so progress can be tracked between meetings.
How Lorinda blends approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so clients can set their own goals; it helps people who need a supportive space to talk through stress and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping - it can be helpful for anger, self-regulation, and relationship tension.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lorinda works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session. She adapts methods over time so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video sessions mirror in-person meetings for longer work and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day.
