Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Licensed Counseling or Therapy care with Lori MA:
- What's the difference between a Counselor, a Psychologist, and a Psychiatrist?
- Lori, a licensed counselor, provides talk therapy. Psychologists have doctorates and specialize in therapy and testing, while psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. For many, a counselor is a great first step in therapy.
- What actually happens in a therapy session?
- A typical session is a safe and confidential conversation where you'll talk with Lori about your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. She will listen without judgment, offer new perspectives, and help you develop coping skills and strategies. This is a collaborative process focused on your goals.
- I'm dealing with a recent loss. Can counseling help with grief?
- Yes. Grief is a natural process, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. Lori provides a compassionate space to process the complex emotions of loss, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and navigate the journey of grieving at your own pace.
- Do I have to have a major 'problem' to go to counseling?
- No. Lori's counseling services are not just for those experiencing a crisis. Many people seek therapy for personal growth, relationship improvement, stress management, or navigating life transitions. It's a proactive step toward mental wellness.
- My partner and I are struggling with communication. Is this something you can help with?
- Yes, couples counseling is a core service. Lori can provide a safe space for you and your partner to address communication challenges, teach effective communication skills, navigate conflicts, and work towards rebuilding connection and understanding.
- What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
- Lori uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a common and effective type of talk therapy. CBT is a hands-on approach where clients learn practical skills to identify, challenge, and change negative thought patterns and behaviors to better manage issues like anxiety, stress, and depression.
- My work life is incredibly stressful. Is that a valid reason to seek counseling?
- Yes, work-related stress and burnout are very common reasons to seek counseling. Lori can help you develop strategies for managing stress, setting boundaries, improving work-life balance, and preventing burnout before it becomes a more serious issue.
- How is family therapy different from individual therapy?
- Lori's family therapy focuses on the family as a system, looking at the interactions and dynamics between family members. Individual therapy, in contrast, focuses on one person's thoughts and feelings. The goal of family therapy is to improve these interactions, resolve conflicts, and enhance the overall family unit's functioning.
