About Lori

Lori Thompson-Maranda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 15 years of professional experience supporting people through periods of stress, anxiety, trauma, and challenges related to eating and self-esteem. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and adapts conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs and circumstances of each client. Lori focuses on building motivation and confidence while addressing practical concerns like coping with mood disorders, panic, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse.

Clients seeking help with body image, relationship and attachment issues, or life transitions such as divorce will find an emphasis on collaborative problem solving and tailored interventions. Lori also works with people managing chronic illness, workplace difficulties, and concerns about life purpose and self-love. She recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and she offers steady support and guidance throughout the therapeutic process while helping clients develop skills and insights to move forward.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Lori uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One common approach she applies is cognitive-based work, which helps people identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another key component is trauma-focused work, which provides structured ways to process past hurts and reduce their ongoing impact on daily functioning, relationships, and self-esteem. She also incorporates skills-based strategies for managing stress and coping with panic, offering tools clients can use in the moment to regain a sense of control and calm.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lori works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life and access support from wherever one is located in New York. These formats offer scheduling flexibility and allow therapy to continue consistently even when in-person sessions are not possible, helping people maintain momentum toward their goals.
