Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lorri Perez

Lorri integrates Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the individual’s perspective - this approach focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where people can explore feelings and make choices that align with their values. It is often helpful for those working through identity, relationship, and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation challenges. Motivational Interviewing supports change by helping people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation to pursue goals, which can be useful for caregivers, first responders, or anyone facing difficult life adjustments.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Lorri works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and she tailors techniques from these methods to fit the situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Clients participate in selecting strategies and tracking progress together with the therapist.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can be managed via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options supports scheduling needs, makes it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, and helps more people access consistent therapeutic support from licensed professionals and therapists.
