About Lorri
Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with ten years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family questions, parenting, and issues linked to identity and grief. Lorri draws on multiple approaches to help people find practical ways forward.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Boston University and a bachelor's degree in social work from Cornell University. Early in her career she worked in emergency services for children and supported families impacted by abuse, neglect, and mental health challenges. That work led to experience conducting evaluations and investigations for the Juvenile Courts.
In clinical practice she uses a person-centered foundation alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. She integrates these approaches to teach skills for managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and improving day-to-day coping.
Lorri also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand how past relationships and early family roles influence current patterns. That perspective is often used when people want to look at family of origin issues, attachment concerns, or recurring relationship dynamics.
She works with adults across a range of life stages on topics such as parenting stress, career pressures, intimacy struggles, and identity questions including LGBT and gender dysphoria related concerns. The focus is on building practical strategies and clearer communication that can be used between sessions.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person’s own goals. It emphasizes the client’s perspective and helps shape sessions around what the person most wants to change or understand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and skill building to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for anger, relationship strain, and intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about what feels most helpful and combine methods when that fits the goals. This is a collaborative process that checks in about progress and adjusts techniques over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use online work to practice the same CBT and DBT exercises, review thought records, and coach communication skills in real time, helping make therapy practical for everyday life.
