Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Lorie Boyd uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, respectful space where the client’s perspective leads the work. This approach can be especially helpful for building self-understanding, strengthening self-love, and sorting through complex feelings related to relationships, identity, and life transitions.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT can help clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice new coping strategies, and build skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges in more workable ways.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorie collaborates with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then adjusts the pace and focus of sessions to fit what the client is working through and what feels most supportive.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access without the added stress of commuting. Sessions with Lorie can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent, get support between sessions when needed, and choose a format that matches comfort level and schedule.
