How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and working at their pace. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person choose goals and steps that feel right for them. It can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and everyday stress.Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past hurt affects present feelings and behavior. The work aims to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on daily life using careful, paced interventions. This approach is often chosen for trauma, post-traumatic stress, and issues stemming from abuse.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Lorrie will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different ways of working. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps connection. Phone sessions can be chosen when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates or use written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and try approaches that match how a person prefers to communicate.
