Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic listening style that helps people feel understood and supported as they explore personal challenges and relationships. This approach is useful for those coping with family issues, attachment concerns, or the emotional impact of life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is commonly used to address anger, coping with stress, and patterns that maintain addictions or relationship problems.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style designed to help people clarify their readiness for change and strengthen internal motivation. It can be particularly helpful for clients working through substance use or ambivalence about making life adjustments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lorraine works with clients to determine what fits best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access consistent support around work and life commitments. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to engage in therapy in ways that suit individual schedules and comfort levels.
