Background and approach
She listens for strengths and builds on what is already working in a person's life. Therapy often includes straightforward tools to manage anxiety, panic, depression, bipolar symptoms, and mood swings. Loretta also addresses anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma.
She helps people living with chronic pain, illness, or disability find ways to cope and keep moving toward meaningful goals. In practical terms, she blends client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her tailor sessions to real life problems such as communication gaps, isolation, career decisions, and life purpose.
Work is focused and goal-oriented while staying flexible to each person's pace. Loretta draws on long experience to spot patterns and offer simple, usable strategies. She helps clients set clear steps, try them out, and adjust as needed.
The aim is steady progress toward a life that feels more satisfying and true to who they are.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Loretta commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy involves listening closely and helping people find their own solutions while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive-behavioral therapy offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters and build internal motivation for change. Together, the therapist and client decide which methods fit best and adjust the plan as goals evolve. This collaborative approach means the therapeutic style is shaped by the client’s needs and preferences rather than a single method.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, brief problem-solving, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady progress over time.
