Remote sessions using skills-based and client-centered methods



Lorraine uses a mix of client-centered principles and structured skills training to frame online work. In client-centered interactions she prioritizes collaboration and respect, inviting clients to shape goals and to explore values and life concerns at their own pace. This foundation supports a therapeutic alliance in remote formats.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to identify thinking and behavior patterns and to teach concrete coping skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and problem solving. Mindfulness strategies and motivational interviewing may be integrated to support engagement and self-awareness. Together these approaches create a toolbox of options that can be tailored to what each person finds most helpful.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lorraine frames remote care as a collaborative process, working with each person to choose communication methods and therapeutic techniques that fit their needs and day-to-day life.
