About Lori
Lori Thompson-Maranda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more confident in daily life. Lori emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.
She draws on 15 years of professional experience to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions look at current struggles and past patterns that keep those struggles going. Lori aims for clear goals and small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Her work addresses attachment and relationship patterns, body image and self-love, and workplace issues. She also supports people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability, along with mood and panic-related problems. Lori helps people who are sorting through divorce, control issues, or questions about life purpose.
In sessions she focuses on honest, straightforward dialog and collaborative planning. She will listen, reflect back what she hears, and suggest practical steps to try between meetings. Progress is paced to what feels doable for each person.
People who want to begin are invited to follow the site’s Start Therapy process. That starts with a short matching questionnaire and leads to scheduling according to the therapist’s availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing how you handle stress, process past hurts, and build healthier habits. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood; it’s useful for stress, panic, and mood concerns. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and self-understanding, which can help with self-esteem, body image, and workplace interactions.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which techniques to try. That shared decision-making helps keep work focused and relevant to daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during a lunch break or between obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for use between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
