How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and focus on values-driven action. It teaches simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build a life that matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep issues, and mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and communication, and it offers ways to practice clearer emotional expression and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lori will help clients and the therapist decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change over time as clients try tools and see what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in on a lunchtime break, or letting a client choose a quieter moment without rearranging their schedule. Therapists can use exercises, worksheets, and real-time skill practice in virtual sessions to support homework and steady progress.
