Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lorri Romesberg

Lorri works from a client-centered framework that prioritizes each person’s goals and experiences, offering a supportive stance that helps clients explore challenges and identify strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorri collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as work progresses to ensure the best possible match between technique and concern.

Online therapy with Lorri is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and formats of communication. These options make it easier to receive care from home or work, manage sessions around busy days, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver structured, goal-oriented work that meets clients where they are.
