About LoriAnn
LoriAnn Ford is an LCSW licensed in North Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. LoriAnn also focuses on body image, panic and social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, communication problems, self-love, and workplace issues.
She uses practical conversation and goal-focused work to help clients make changes. Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can try between meetings. LoriAnn draws on Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy to shape those steps.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the approach accordingly. Meetings typically include talking through current problems, learning new coping skills, and practicing different ways to respond to stress.
LoriAnn helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and then test small changes. She may use CBT techniques to examine thoughts and DBT strategies to manage intense emotions. EFT techniques can help when relationship feelings are central, and mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity.
People who choose LoriAnn can expect a collaborative process that focuses on practical skills and clearer communication. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session where goals and next steps are discussed.

Approach and what to expect from online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and supports people in finding their own solutions. It is useful when someone wants a therapist who listens and follows their lead on priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, panic, and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. LoriAnn will discuss goals and preferences in the first meetings and adjust methods as needed. Decisions about using CBT exercises, DBT skills practice, or mindfulness techniques are made collaboratively based on what the client wants to focus on.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online meetings can also make it easier to practice skills between appointments and bring examples from daily life into therapy.
