How Lori Uses Practical Therapies Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping people name what matters to them, which can clarify goals and priorities in a few conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made.
