How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on what the person cares about. Lorraine listens closely and helps set goals that reflect the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationship and impulse concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Lorraine works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and situation. She will check in and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also supports shorter check-ins when needed, and lets people work with a therapist who practices in Arizona without commuting. Talk with Lorraine about what will fit into your daily routine and the kinds of sessions that are most helpful.
