Lorri Romesberg

Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with ten years of experience. She uses a person-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her work often addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and issues related to identity and grief.

She trained at Boston University for her master of social work and earned a bachelor of social work from Cornell University. Early in her career she focused on emergency services for children and supported families affected by abuse and neglect. That experience shaped her practical, hands-on style and her attention to safety and immediate needs.

In session she blends client-centered work with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That mix helps people build tools for emotion regulation, change unhelpful thinking, and practice new ways of relating. The therapist also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Lorri helps people facing adoption, attachment, abandonment, and family of origin issues, and she supports those coping with divorce and separation. She also works with concerns around gender dysphoria, LGBT issues, and identity-related stress.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. She and the client set goals together and try strategies that can be used between sessions. Lorri emphasizes developing coping skills, clearer communication, and steadier daily routines.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so clients can clarify goals and feel heard; this helps with relationship worries, identity issues, and decision-making.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It introduces clear strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and building practical habits to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These tools are useful for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and handling crises more effectively.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorri will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on skill-building, examining past patterns, or combining techniques across approaches.
