About Loretta

Loretta Battistoni is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience working in hospital settings. She has supported people living with chronic health conditions and has experience addressing substance misuse and related challenges.

Her work has included assisting clients with addictions, grief and loss, shifts in motivation, and concerns about self-esteem and confidence.

She aims to create a warm and welcoming space where clients can share their experiences and explore practical steps forward. Loretta uses a strengths-based approach to therapy, helping clients identify and build on what already works for them.

Evidence-Based and Strengths-Focused Care Online

Loretta uses a strengths-based approach that centers a person’s existing abilities and resources, helping clients build confidence and tackle life changes from a foundation of resilience. This approach is well suited for issues such as shifting motivation, low self-esteem, and adapting to new circumstances.

Alongside strengths work, Loretta applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to health-related and substance misuse concerns. These research-informed methods focus on practical tools and skills to manage urges, process loss, and navigate adjustments related to illness or treatment. They are adapted to each person’s situation and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Loretta collaborates with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing medical appointments, caregiving, work, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and incorporate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals who can support recovery, coping, and growth.
