Focus areas and approaches

Everything Loretta lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Two common evidence-based techniques she draws on are coaching-focused behavioral work and problem-solving strategies. Coaching-style behavioral work breaks goals into specific actions and habits to try between sessions, which helps with motivation, career planning, and building self-esteem. Problem-solving strategies focus on identifying priorities, weighing options, and testing small changes to handle stress and life transitions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns and goals, then recommend which techniques to try first. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adjust methods based on what is working and what feels manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching prompts, or when a client prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
