How Lori’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values and small, doable actions. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep patterns when someone wants clearer direction for daily habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about finding and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical routines. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep-related behavior changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions show up in close connections and helps people name and shift interaction patterns that cause pain.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
