Online support
How Lori blends relationship work with online therapy
Clients can expect approaches that focus on interaction and practical change. The Gottman Method is used to identify communication patterns, reduce recurring fights, and teach clearer ways to approach conflict. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead so sessions move at a comfortable pace and build trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete coping steps for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The therapist and client decide together which techniques feel most useful and which to pause or expand.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can support shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep momentum between meetings. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, follow-ups, and practicing skills between sessions.
