Lorri has been so supportive. She asks good questions that make me consider my thoughts. If I think a different way then she respects why I feel like I do. She gives me honest feedback and very supportive of my progress. I’m dealing with the issues that made me want to talk to someone and the past situation is not an issue anymore. Now we are working on moving forward with confidence especially with new options in my life. I’m proud of myself for getting assistance in resolving the situation that I had no control over. And my external world is reflecting the changes I made internally. I’m very grateful.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lorri is a fantastic therapist and has a wealth of knowledge in life in general and a background in hospital care. She is kind and understanding and has a great capacity to listen, help process, and work through whatever the topic may be.
