How Lori Uses CBT Online and Finds the Best Fit

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Lori uses CBT tools to help reframe unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and ease anger.

She also applies coaching-style steps to build motivation and follow-through. That approach focuses on setting clear, measurable goals and breaking big changes into manageable tasks clients can practice between sessions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Lori will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what is not.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools and worksheets together during the session to practice new skills.
