About Jorie
Jorie Wehrell draws on a collaborative, client-centered therapeutic approach to help people untangle persistent patterns and build practical coping skills.
Background and approach
With 14 years of experience across diverse settings, she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-informed perspectives to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, addictions, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. Jorie frames therapy as a partnership in which clients' own experiences shape the work and guide goal-setting.
Her background includes work in therapeutic group homes, juvenile justice, community mental health, and independent practice, informing a flexible style that meets people where they are. She helps clients examine personal narratives and family patterns, identify obstacles that keep familiar but ineffective strategies in place, and practice new responses that support healthier functioning.
Jorie emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as central to progress and supports clients in forming concrete, time-sensitive goals while offering steady, compassionate guidance throughout the process.
Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care
Jorie typically draws from Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and connection patterns, which can be especially helpful for relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and family patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing specific skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and mood swings and to change behavior in measurable ways.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. This shared decision making allows techniques and the pace of work to be adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports scheduling flexibility and access for clients in different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between sessions, and stay connected with a licensed professional when in-person visits are not convenient.
