How practical therapies translate to online care

Dr. Lorio uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms by focusing on small, concrete steps.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people clarify their values and take actions that match those values, even when emotions are difficult. This approach can be helpful for stress, grief, and issues around identity. Client-centered methods guide sessions with warm listening and a focus on each person’s perspective.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, ACT, mindfulness, or another method fits best.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow short, frequent contact between sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around work and family commitments.
