About Torey
Torey LaMothe is a licensed professional counselor with 39 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with adults who are dealing with depression, trauma, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. Her manner is calm and direct, aiming to make difficult problems feel more manageable in everyday life.
In sessions she offers a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort through what is happening now and what matters most. Conversations focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building routines that support coping. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding.
Torey draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include skills for emotion regulation, ways to shift unhelpful thoughts, and attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. She also helps people clarify values and choose small changes that add up over time.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and stress, including parenting strain, career challenges, body image, chronic illness, and identity-related issues. Sessions are rooted in respect for each person’s story and cultural background.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect goals with an appropriate plan. The focus is on steady progress - one small step at a time - so people leave sessions with something practical to try before the next meeting.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It focuses on small values-based actions and learning to live with difficult feelings while moving toward chosen goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and suggest ways of working that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be scheduled to match day-to-day demands and to practice skills between meetings.
