About Torey

Torey LaMothe is a licensed professional counselor with 39 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting issues, and many other life challenges. Her style is warm and direct.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than clinical jargon. Torey creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through problems and try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

She listens for what matters most to each person and helps shape goals that feel doable. Conversations often include skills for managing emotions and improving communication. Her training includes methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based and client-centered approaches.

She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation is needed. These methods are used to tailor short and longer term plans to the concerns presented. Clients can expect a blend of practical tools and open, empathic listening.

Torey pays attention to patterns that hurt relationships and to steps that rebuild trust and self-esteem. She helps people sort priorities and begin small changes that add up over time. Located in Mississippi, Torey brings many years of experience to varied issues including parenting, career stress, chronic illness, and loss.

She aims to support steady progress and greater confidence in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that match those values to build a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on relationship patterns and emotional bonds, helping people repair trust and improve connection in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits the client's situation.

Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can provide shorter check-ins or support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using the ACT, CBT, and attachment-based tools that guide the work.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
