About Loretta
Loretta McClory is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with eleven years of counseling experience. She welcomes people who are reaching out during a hard time and creates a simple, direct space to talk about what feels overwhelming. Her background in education gives her practical experience with organization and clear communication.
Loretta focuses on grief and helps people find steady steps forward. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps clients set small, manageable goals to reduce immediate stress.
Background and approach
Her approach borrows from client-centered work, so the conversation is guided by the person's needs and perspective. She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify what is already working and build on it. Loretta has a history in classroom teaching and school administration, which shaped her ability to explain things simply and stay organized during challenging processes.
That background informs how she structures sessions and follow-up. Sessions are offered to people living in Texas, and her practice uses a subscription model for scheduling and payments. She aims to make the steps into therapy clear: a short questionnaire, then scheduling at a time that fits.
People who prefer plain language, practical steps, and a steady, organized approach may find her style a good fit.
Client-centered and solution-focused care online
Loretta uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them name their priorities and feelings.She also draws on solution-focused therapy. That approach looks for what is already working and builds small, practical steps from there. It is useful for people who want clear, short-term goals and actions to reduce immediate stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Loretta will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then tailor sessions. The plan can change as needs evolve, and this is decided together.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls let participants use visual cues and mirror an in-person session. Phone sessions work well when a quieter space or less bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection, and support between longer sessions. These options help fit counseling into busy days and different routines.
