Background and approach

That variety shaped a flexible approach to care and a familiarity with many different situations. Loire centers empathy, active listening, and genuine concern in sessions. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques.

Dialectical skills and Jungian ideas are also part of her toolbox when they feel appropriate. In sessions she helps clients name the problems, try ways to manage difficult feelings, and test small changes that can improve daily life. She talks through concrete tools for coping, communication, and decision-making.

Her aim is to find realistic, individualized steps that people can use between sessions. Loire offers live sessions of 30 to 60 minutes, scheduled on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9am and 7pm. She practices in Florida as an LMHC, license number FL LMHC MH7292.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people move toward what matters to them, even when emotions are difficult, and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often includes homework and concrete tools for managing stress, sleep, eating concerns, and mood shifts.

Loire takes a collaborative approach to picking methods. She will talk with each person about goals, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Finding the right mix of tools is part of the work together.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work routines. Loire offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. These options allow for regular check-ins and practice of skills between live meetings, increasing flexibility for caregivers and people handling multiple responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
