Lorrie Herzberg is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience supporting people through major life challenges. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials, indicating licensure as a clinical social worker in both California and Massachusetts. Her practice focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, career and life transitions, and compassion fatigue, along with related areas such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family of origin issues.

Lorrie centers her work on respect, sensitivity, and empathic support, collaborating with each person to create a treatment plan tailored to their priorities and circumstances. She integrates research-validated and contemporary therapeutic methods and adapts them to the individual, drawing on client-centered, psychodynamic, mindfulness, EMDR, and hypnotherapy approaches as appropriate. Her aim is to empower clients to explore challenges, build coping skills, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Recognizing that reaching out for help takes courage, Lorrie offers steady guidance and practical strategies while honoring each client s pace and goals. She works with people across the lifespan to address both immediate concerns and deeper patterns that affect well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Lorrie draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative atmosphere where the person s experiences and goals guide each session. This approach emphasizes active listening, empathy, and building on the client s strengths to address stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients coping with trauma and distressing memories. EMDR is a structured method that helps people process traumatic experiences so those memories become less disruptive to daily life.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool Lorrie integrates, teaching simple awareness and grounding practices that can reduce worry, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with chronic stress or pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorrie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what works best for their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different life circumstances.
