Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lorraine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common method helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and then try different, more balanced ways of thinking; this is useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-doubt. Another approach emphasizes small behavioral steps - planning and practicing manageable actions that build confidence and reduce avoidance, which can help with depression, anxiety, and addictions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorraine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and everyday routines, then suggest strategies to try. Together they assess what works and adjust methods as needed so therapy fits the client’s life and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good lower-bandwidth option, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick reflections or between-session check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, busy days, or when travel is difficult, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical tools.
