Background and approach
Her work has included attention to co-occurring disorders and addiction, and she researches stigma connected to mental illness and substance use. In sessions she favors evidence-based approaches that break big problems into small steps. She helps people identify patterns that keep anxiety going and practices new ways to cope.
Conversations often include skill-building, problem solving, and checking what works between appointments. Her background includes teaching counseling at the graduate level and serving on professional boards. That experience informs a structured, informed style that still stays personal.
She also brings experience addressing grief, relationship strain, self-esteem, and issues tied to identity. Outside of work she spends time with her family and enjoys exercise, painting, and reading. That balance influences a practical, life-focused therapy style that aims to fit into busy schedules and real-world demands.
Approaches that meet you where you are
Dr. Lott uses evidence-based techniques that focus on skill building and problem solving. One common approach teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, helping people notice triggers and practice short exercises to reduce intense reactions. Another approach breaks large problems into smaller, achievable steps and uses repeated practice to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with relationship strain, grief, or substance-related concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each person, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful for the client's goals and preferences. This means experiments, check-ins, and building a plan that fits day-to-day life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows back-and-forth in writing, and text messaging supports brief updates or coping reminders between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
