About Lorri

Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. She brings ten years of clinical social work experience to sessions and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside many related issues. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find workable steps forward.

She uses a person-centered approach that focuses on each family's needs. That means conversations start with what matters most to the family and build from there.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to address patterns of thinking and behavior that cause stress and anxiety. Lorri has experience with trauma, parenting challenges, depression, and anxiety, and she has worked with people facing adoption and foster care questions. Her background includes work in emergency services for children and work with families affected by abuse and neglect.

That experience informs how she supports families under pressure. In sessions she helps people develop concrete tools for managing emotions, handling conflict, improving communication, and coping with life changes. She blends DBT skills when emotion regulation is needed and uses psychodynamic ideas when exploring long-standing family patterns.

The goal is practical change that fits each family's life. Sessions are offered in English and provided online through several formats. Lorri collaborates with clients to set clear goals and to pick strategies that are realistic and usable at home.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online family work

Client-centered therapy places the client's priorities at the center of sessions. It focuses on listening, understanding each family's goals, and shaping work around what matters to them. This approach helps caregivers set realistic steps and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It provides clear tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and changing unhelpful behavior patterns. That makes it practical for day-to-day parenting and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation and handling intense moments. It can be useful when families face strong emotions, chronic stress, or communication breakdowns. Skills are taught in short, usable ways that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorri collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with online formats. She adjusts strategies as progress is made so therapy remains relevant and useful.

Online sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. These options offer flexibility for parents who need evening or daytime support, and they let people use strategies in the same environment where challenges happen.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
