Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lorri Perez

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a compassionate, non-directive stance where the therapist creates space for clients to explore their feelings and goals at their own pace. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship struggles, and navigating life transitions by emphasizing understanding and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It offers practical tools for managing mood, improving coping strategies, and changing patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational style designed to strengthen personal motivation for change. It can be useful for addressing ambivalence around behavior change, increasing readiness to act, and supporting clients through stages of change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lorri Perez works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements of different approaches as appropriate to tailor care for each person.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from varied locations. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
