About Lorie

Lorie Muellenbach brings a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy that emphasizes collaboration and skill-building. As a licensed psychologist in California (CA Psychologist 33283) and Arizona (AZ Psychologist PSY-006099) with nine years of professional experience, she helps clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

Her style blends empathetic support with concrete strategies aimed at improving emotional regulation, resilience, and everyday functioning. Clients meet a clinician who adapts interventions to the individual rather than following a rigid protocol.

Muellenbach works with people across the lifespan and often supports those facing transitions, burnout, identity questions, or persistent mood and anxiety symptoms. She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, and related challenges.

Sessions emphasize practical tools alongside opportunities to explore underlying patterns, helping clients build confidence and move forward at their own pace.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care



Lorie Muellenbach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine emotion-focused work with practical skill-building. One common approach focuses on improving emotional regulation and coping skills, helping people manage anxiety, stress, anger, and ADHD-related impulsivity through step-by-step strategies and behavioral practices. Another frequently used method emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral change to address day-to-day challenges like parenting stress, routines, and mood symptoms, offering concrete tools that can be practiced between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process and is done collaboratively. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time so treatment matches evolving needs and real-world priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from Arizona without travel. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver interactive, skills-focused work that supports progress between appointments.
