Background and approach
Lorrie helps people sharpen communication and cope with relationship strain, parenting stress, or career pressure. Trauma-focused work is part of her practice when past events continue to affect daily life. She helps people process upsetting memories and build routines that lower reactivity.
For people managing panic attacks, mood shifts, or attention challenges, she offers steady pacing and clear strategies. Lorrie also supports people facing life transitions like pregnancy, postpartum changes, fertility struggles, and major losses. She pays attention to how stress shows up in behavior, eating, sleep, and work performance.
Sessions aim to be collaborative, with goals set together and adjusted as needed. Clients can expect straightforward language and practical tools. Lorrie often uses short exercises to practice new skills during and after sessions.
Her work is informed by seven years of experience and by the values of listening first and tailoring plans to each person.
Approach-focused online therapy for trauma and stress
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people set their own goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries, and life changes because it centers the client's priorities and pace.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past events affect current feelings and behavior. It uses careful, step-by-step work to reduce the hold of distressing memories and to build daily routines that lower reactivity. This is often chosen by people dealing with post-traumatic stress, panic, or long-term effects of abuse.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust plans together over time. People are encouraged to say what helps and what doesn't so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work as a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, flexible touchpoints for brief updates or coping tools between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, travel schedules, or changing routines.
