How CBT informs online sessions and what to expect
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In practice this means short, focused conversations about current problems, simple exercises to try between sessions, and review of what helped or didn’t help. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic symptoms, depression, and social fears.Sessions can also target panic attacks and social anxiety with stepwise exposure and breathing or grounding techniques. These are described in plain terms and practiced progressively so people can notice small changes. Lori uses these CBT strategies to reduce avoidance and build manageable coping skills.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made based on response, with concrete tasks and measurable check-ins.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, support shorter check-ins when needed, or allow sessions without traveling. Licensed professionals commonly use these flexible arrangements to help people maintain consistent progress while balancing other responsibilities.
