About Loretta
In sessions she creates space for clients to talk through painful feelings and past hurts without judgment. She uses proven tools to build coping skills and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Conversations often include work on communication, handling strong emotions, and managing setbacks in a way that fits the person’s routine.
Loretta blends several evidence-informed approaches to match the needs of each person. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what the person finds most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift thought patterns that worsen mood and anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness Therapy provide tools for tolerating distress and staying present during hard moments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs work on connection and improving how people express needs. These approaches are chosen to fit the concern at hand, whether it is mood, relationships, or substance issues.
With six years of clinical experience, Loretta aims to help people build lasting skills. She encourages steady, realistic progress and helps clients set manageable goals. Prospective clients who want to try therapy are invited to start with a short matching process before scheduling.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around the client’s priorities, making it easier to address issues like stress and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or depression active, using practical exercises and homework to build new patterns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete tools for handling intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. These skills can help with impulses, addiction-related urges, and situations that feel overwhelming. Together these approaches give a mix of listening, skill teaching, and small practice steps tailored to what the client needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with one approach and adding others as skills grow.
