Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of difficult feelings, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical, goal-oriented steps and small changes that move a person toward their desired outcomes, making it useful for clients seeking concrete progress in a relatively brief time frame.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lori Leftenant works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as circumstances change.

Online therapy with Lori can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for those who may prefer not to travel. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access support from licensed professionals when it is most needed.
