Lorrie Herzberg , LCSW, LICSW

Lorrie Herzberg is a licensed clinical social worker with licenses in Massachusetts and California and three decades of experience supporting adults through complex life challenges. She holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW - professional licenses that designate advanced training and authorization to provide clinical social work. Over 30 years, she has developed expertise addressing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes including aging parents and caregiving demands.

Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring treatment plans to each person’s unique needs. She integrates research-validated and cutting-edge modalities to help clients explore family-of-origin patterns, navigate transitions such as divorce or career change, work through chronic illness or caregiver stress, and process distressing memories. She also supports those facing abandonment, codependency, forgiveness work, and compassion fatigue.

Seeking change takes courage, and Herzberg frames therapy as an empowering collaboration. She aims to provide steady support while helping people build practical coping skills, deepen self-understanding, and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lorrie Herzberg uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where clients lead the pace of change while the therapist facilitates growth and self-understanding - this approach is often helpful for issues with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. She also employs Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people process and reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories, a method commonly used for trauma and abuse recovery. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool in her work, teaching present-moment awareness and practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Herzberg collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing fits to a single model.

Online therapy with Herzberg is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain consistency around busy schedules, handle caregiving or health limitations, and access support from home while working toward meaningful change.
