Background and approach
She integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools to help manage symptoms day to day. When trauma is part of the story, Lorri uses approaches such as EMDR and trauma-informed techniques to reduce the hold painful memories can have. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are added when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
She blends methods to match what each person finds most useful. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She encourages questions and welcomes honest feedback about what is or isn’t working.
The aim is steady progress toward clearer goals and improved functioning. With ten years of clinical experience in Washington, Lorri combines practical skills with a belief that people can move toward a more fulfilling life.

How Lorri’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on each person’s strengths to set useful goals. In an online session this means the therapist follows the client’s lead while offering practical feedback and simple tasks to practice between visits. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and moods and teaches clear tools to change habits that increase anxiety or depression. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions; it can be adapted for video or phone formats to suit the client. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first and will adjust plans based on what feels helpful. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions remain aligned with their goals. Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for longer therapy work and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or times when a shorter exchange fits someone’s schedule.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
