How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Many of the evidence-based techniques Lori draws on focus on changing unhelpful patterns and processing difficult memories. For example, cognitive-oriented work helps identify and test upsetting thoughts that fuel guilt and shame, helping people consider alternatives and small behavioral experiments. Trauma-informed approaches focus on pacing and stabilization so memories can be discussed without becoming overwhelming.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lori works with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. She explains options and adjusts the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. They also allow continuity when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can adapt session length and pacing to match daily routines and technical limits, helping therapy stay practical and ongoing.
