About Lorie
Lorie Boyd is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 26 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and traumatic memories. Lorie offers steady support for relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and struggles around self-esteem and identity.
Her work often focuses on recovery from trauma and abuse, codependency, and family of origin problems. She pays attention to how culture, prejudice, and discrimination shape a person's experience. That perspective guides practical steps for coping and healing rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Lorie uses a client-centered way of working that puts the person's goals and values first. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions aim to be direct and clear, with tools you can use between meetings.
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through hard topics like grief, sexual assault, domestic violence, or first responder stress. Lorie often helps people rebuild self-love, improve communication, and strengthen day-to-day coping skills. The focus is on small, concrete changes that add up over time.
She brings nearly three decades of clinical experience to difficult issues such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, and social phobia. Lorie's approach blends practical skills with attention to each person's story and cultural background. She works at a pace chosen with the client.
How Lorie’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person's needs and values. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set their own goals. This approach helps with confidence, self-love, relationship concerns, and cultural or identity-related stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, social phobia, and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps make therapy feel useful and relevant to daily life.
