Background and approach
Lorrie draws from a range of approaches, including client-centered therapy, EMDR, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic work. She explains techniques simply and helps people try them at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build skills for everyday life.
Many people come for help with grief, intimacy-related concerns, or burnout and compassion fatigue.

The work blends short-term coping strategies with deeper exploration when needed. Lorrie emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and clear goals. She encourages small steps that lead to meaningful change.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people shape solutions that feel right for them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of painful memories. It can be used when past events continue to cause strong reactions in daily life. Hypnotherapy uses guided attention and suggestion to address habits, anxiety, and motivation by helping people access focused states of mind.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their history, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so progress fits the person's life and pace.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible from different places. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be shorter or fit into a busy day with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, homework, or ongoing support between sessions. These options allow more flexibility to schedule care around work, caregiving, or health needs.
