How Lori Uses Practical, Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Many of Lori’s sessions draw on evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful habits and improving coping. One common approach is behavioral strategies that help people change routine responses to stress and anger by practicing small, repeatable actions. These techniques are useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and daily functioning.

Another common thread is skills-based work for communication and problem solving. That means learning specific ways to talk through conflict, set boundaries, and manage parenting or family stress with clearer steps. These skills help in relationship issues, blended family challenges, and work-life balance concerns.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Lori listens to each person’s goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.
