About Lorri
Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting questions, trauma and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also lists support for LGBT issues, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, anger, and career concerns.
Lorri trained in social work at Boston University and Cornell University and began her career in emergency services for children. Her early work included helping families affected by abuse, neglect, and mental health crises and doing evaluations for the juvenile courts. That background shaped her focus on safety and practical problem-solving.
Her approach centers on the person rather than a manual. She draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy skills. Those tools are used to help people manage strong emotions, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build day-to-day coping skills.
Lorri also incorporates psychodynamic ideas when helpful to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and time. She aims to connect practical coping with clearer understanding of past influences so people can make different choices now.
Sessions tend to focus on achievable steps - improving sleep, managing anxiety, repairing communication, or handling parenting stress. She works collaboratively with each person to set goals and try strategies that fit their life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experiences. It emphasizes listening and helping the individual steer sessions toward what matters most, and it can be useful for issues like relationship strain, identity questions, and life transitions.CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers step-by-step skills to reduce anxiety, manage depressive symptoms, and change unhelpful patterns. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, adds emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.
Figuring out which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to test techniques, adjust focus, and choose what fits their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions around study or early career hours, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements, what you want to focus on, and how to make sessions work with everyday life.
