Evidence-based approaches, built for online connection
Lori Gieseler integrates practical, relationship-aware therapy methods that translate well to online care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and reactions, then practicing new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, low mood, and everyday challenges. It is especially helpful for clients who want clear strategies they can apply between sessions.She also uses a client-centered approach, which emphasizes respect, empathy, and a steady focus on what matters most to the client. Sessions often use reflective questions to help clarify goals, strengthen self-understanding, and support meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable. When attachment-based ideas are a fit, therapy can also explore how early and current relationships shape trust, closeness, and communication, which can be useful for relationship concerns and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori collaborates with clients to identify priorities, preferences, and goals, then adjusts the work over time so therapy stays relevant and supportive.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent with therapy and fit sessions into busy schedules or changing routines.
