Online support
How Lorrie’s approaches fit online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In practice that means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that feel useful. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to address distress linked to upsetting memories. It involves guided processing of those memories alongside focused attention techniques to reduce emotional intensity and improve coping with trauma-related reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorrie will talk with each person about their history, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life.
