About Lorey

Lorey Delap is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and career concerns. She also provides support around trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship issues.

Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find usable tools for day-to-day life. Delap uses clear, goal-focused methods to help clients handle specific problems. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and shape work around each person's needs. EMDR is available for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Sessions tend to emphasize real skills rather than theory.

Clients learn simple strategies for coping with triggers, improving communication, and managing overwhelming feelings. She offers focused plans that can be practiced between meetings. Progress is tracked in small, practical steps so people notice change.

Her background as an LCSW in New Hampshire informs a pragmatic approach to common life stresses. She pays attention to attachment patterns and caregiver stress when those issues come up. The aim is to build resilience and clearer routines that fit a family's daily life.

Parents and caregivers who want straightforward support for parenting challenges, family stress, or recovery from trauma will find sessions that blend empathy with hands-on techniques. Work is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort and needs.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, helps clarify goals, and adjusts pacing based on what the person needs. This approach helps when someone wants a space to be heard and to set their own priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on small changes in thinking and behavior. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT exercises and worksheets can be shared and practiced during video calls or via messaging to build daily habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk through needs, preferences, and goals and then recommend one or a mix of methods. Clients can give feedback and change direction if something is not working.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video calls give face-to-face contact while phone sessions reduce screen time. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or use shorter, on-the-go support. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match a person's schedule and daily responsibilities.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
