Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lori Karman draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping individuals understand how attachment history affects current interactions and emotional responses - this can support work on relationship issues, parenting, and attachment concerns. Lori also integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when practical skills for managing thoughts and behaviors are needed, offering tools that clients can apply between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lori collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy with Lori is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and help maintain momentum in treatment even when in-person visits are difficult.
