About Loretta

Loretta Moore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 32 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and depression. Her work also addresses coping with life changes, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, and building self-love.

She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for worried parents and caregivers. She creates a calm, open space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Background and approach

Loretta has experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has worked in emergency crisis situations. That background gives her familiarity with high-stress moments and practical safety coordination when needed. Her practice includes work with clients affected by addiction, both in community and professional settings.

Loretta has collaborated with outside agencies such as child protective services, adult protective services, and local police to address client safety and well-being. Her experience shapes a practical approach to solving immediate problems while also addressing longer-term emotional needs. Sessions are aimed at helping people find clearer choices and coping tools for daily life.

She listens for what matters most to each family and helps them build steps they can try between meetings. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes. Loretta communicates in English and practices in Michigan.

She recognizes that starting therapy can feel hard and offers steady support to parents who want help navigating family and life changes.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and life work

Many clients benefit from short-term, practical strategies that target worry and stress. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new, more balanced ways of thinking. This can help reduce anxiety and make daily problems feel more manageable.

Problem-solving and skills-based work targets specific family or life challenges. Sessions focus on clear steps to try at home, communication strategies, and ways to cope with change. This style helps when families need concrete tools to break repeating patterns and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the family’s needs, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most useful.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions remove the need for internet video. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family schedules and keep work moving forward.
