About Lorie

Lorie Boyd is a New York licensed mental health counselor with 26 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

She often works with clients facing challenges linked to identity, prejudice, and systemic pressures, and provides support for concerns such as addiction, bipolar symptoms, grief, and ADHD. Her practice emphasizes practical tools as well as emotional healing to help clients regain stability and direction.

Her style blends compassion with cultural sensitivity, aiming to honor each person's history and context while building concrete coping skills. Lorie draws on client-centered principles to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients reframe unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding.

She partners with people who want clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and greater self-acceptance, guiding them through recovery from abuse, family conflict, and the impact of discrimination.

Integrating Client-Centered and CBT Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the client's experiences guide the work; it helps people feel heard and supported while they explore values, identity, and healing from bias or discrimination. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with impulse control.

Finding the right approach is collaborative and may evolve over time; the therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences so the plan reflects both practical change and emotional understanding. This joint process helps tailor interventions for concerns like trauma recovery, relationship communication, or coping with ADHD-related challenges.

Online sessions can be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access therapy from varied locations while working with licensed professionals who adapt approaches to the online format.
