About Lorri
Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. She has been working in social work for over ten years and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns, including panic disorder and panic attacks when they arise.
Romesberg trained at Boston University for her master's degree in social work and holds a bachelor's in social work from Cornell University. Early in her career she provided emergency services for children and supported families facing abuse, neglect, and serious mental health stressors. That background shaped her practical approach to day-to-day problems.
Her work emphasizes a person-centered stance. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotion regulation and interpersonal difficulties.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. She helps people build practical strategies for coping, managing emotions, improving sleep, and navigating life changes. Topics she commonly addresses include parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and family of origin problems, and identity concerns such as gender dysphoria.
Romesberg blends longer-term reflection with short-term skill building when it fits the client. She supports people through grief, trauma, career shifts, and struggles with self-esteem or isolation. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on treating the person with respect and curiosity, helping them set goals and shape the work. It emphasizes listening and responding to what the person needs in the moment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep issues, and low mood because it teaches concrete strategies to test and shift thinking patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaboration helps shape whether the focus will be skill-building, exploring past patterns, or a mix of both.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care during life transitions, while the therapist and client decide together how often and in what style to meet.
