Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and paced to match what feels right for them. Lorinda uses a mix of approaches to match what someone needs in the moment.

She also draws on mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. She has experience with a wide range of life challenges, including family of origin issues, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, body image concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, and post-traumatic stress. She also offers support for LGBT concerns and veteran or armed forces related issues.
In session Lorinda aims to listen first, then work with clients to set practical steps. Her approach blends open conversation, skill teaching, and gentle challenge so people can try new ways of coping and relating.

Online support
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Lorinda often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change recurring emotional patterns that affect relationships. EFT focuses on emotions beneath interactions and can help clients better understand their attachment needs and responses. Client-centered therapy is another core approach where the session centers on the person's own goals and experience, encouraging honest reflection and self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers clear, practical skills to identify and reframe upsetting thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, try strategies that match those aims, and adjust the plan as you go. That means techniques can shift between emotion-focused exploration, supportive client-centered listening, and skill-based CBT depending on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is useful. Phone sessions can be a low-bandwidth option or easier when screens are tiring. Chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill work, or flexibility around busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into daily life.
