About Lorri

Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. She brings ten years of social work experience to sessions and focuses on issues like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, trauma, and money and financial issues. Lorri aims to help people build practical skills and make steady changes that fit their daily lives.

She trained with a master of social work degree and began her career in emergency services for children. Early work included supporting families affected by abuse and neglect and conducting evaluations for juvenile courts. Over time her practice expanded to include adoption and foster care matters, LGBTQ issues, and grief and loss concerns.

In session she uses a person-centered approach combined with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means conversations focus on the person’s goals, while also teaching concrete tools for managing emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-term patterns that affect relationships and self-worth.

Lorri works with people facing life changes such as divorce, career transitions, parenting strain, and midlife questions. She addresses issues tied to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin problems. She also helps clients navigate intimacy-related concerns, gender dysphoria, and challenges around identity and belonging.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Clients can expect to set clear goals, practice skills between sessions, and revisit plans as needs change. Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through the site’s scheduling process.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set steps that feel manageable. This approach is useful for concerns like parenting strain, identity questions, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skill building. It helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and replaces them with actionable strategies for mood, anxiety, and sleep concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lorri will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean prioritizing skills practice one week and exploring early life patterns another week.

Specific online session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or audio according to what suits them best. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral practices for remote sessions to keep therapy practical and goal-focused.
