Her goal is to help people learn skills that fit their daily life and to support them as they try those skills between meetings.

Approaches that guide online work and practical growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, value-driven actions despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It suits people trying to move forward while managing worry or stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches step-by-step techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She will check in and adjust strategies as needed so the work stays practical and relevant. Confirm session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible check-ins during work breaks or between responsibilities. It also lets people practice skills in their regular routines and bring real-life examples to sessions for immediate feedback.
