Approaches That Guide Online Care

Lorraine integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps uncover personal strengths and values - this approach can be especially useful for building self-esteem and clarity. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage depressive symptoms. DBT offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Deciding which approach or combination of approaches will work best is part of the therapeutic process. Lorraine collaborates with each client to identify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adjust methods over time so therapy aligns with the client’s needs, preferences, and pace.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduced travel time, and the ability to connect from familiar surroundings. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and continue progress even when life is hectic or transitions occur.
