Approaches in Online Therapy and What They Offer

Lorine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and mood dysregulation. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often focusing on skills for day-to-day coping and emotional regulation.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness can support clients dealing with anxiety, rumination, stress, and difficulties with concentration or sleep.

Solution-Focused Therapy is another option she uses when clients want to build on strengths and set clear, achievable goals. This approach emphasizes small, concrete steps and the client’s own resources to create change more quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lorine works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time to fit each person’s progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy lives or across geographic boundaries. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
