About Loretta
She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, centering the client as the expert of their own story and building on existing resources and resilience. Loretta aims to create a warm, inviting space where individuals can share their experiences and work toward meaningful change. Her background in hospital social work informs a pragmatic, person-centered style that attends to both emotional and practical factors in recovery and adjustment.
Taking the first step toward therapy often takes courage, and Loretta acknowledges that effort while partnering with clients to identify goals and strategies that fit their lives. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, respect for each person’s strengths, and steady support through periods of loss, change, and recovery.
Evidence-Based Care and Online Access
Loretta combines a strengths-based approach with evidence-based techniques to help clients manage stress, grief, addiction, and life transitions. Her strengths-based work focuses on identifying and building the personal resources a client already possesses, helping people draw on resilience and past successes to confront current challenges. In addition, she uses practical, skills-oriented evidence-based methods that teach coping strategies and problem-solving tools useful for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and caregiving stress. Her hospital-based social work background also brings a medical-social perspective to counseling, attending to how health conditions and treatment needs intersect with emotional well-being.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Loretta works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so care aligns with evolving needs and circumstances. Clients are invited to participate actively in shaping their plan for therapy.
Online therapy offers flexibility for scheduling and formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so clients can engage in ways that fit their routines and energy levels. This versatility makes it easier to access consistent support during periods of illness, caregiving, work demands, or other life changes, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver focused, goal-oriented care remotely.
