Background and approach
Lu Ann draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person's concerns and values.

That background includes helping people with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, aging issues, divorce and separation, and workplace challenges. Lu Ann also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, hoarding, or isolation.
Sessions are tailored to what each person needs, whether that means short-term problem solving or a longer conversation about life purpose. She encourages clients to set simple, measurable goals and to take practical steps between sessions.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experiences and values first. The therapist listens without judgement and follows whatever is most important to the client, making sure goals reflect real life needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to feel better.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on problem solving, changing thought patterns, or strengthening motivation, and they adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is not possible or to reduce bandwidth. Messaging and live chat let people check in between meetings, share quick updates, or get short coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent progress.
