Approaches That Guide Online Therapeutic Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for those who want to reduce avoidance and build more meaningful daily routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them through practical exercises, making it a common choice for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, which can support mood and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lori works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to create a plan that feels practical and sustainable.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to connect in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. This accessibility can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and apply therapeutic work between appointments.
