About Lorri
Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 10 years of experience. She holds an MA in social work from Boston University and a BA in social work from Cornell University. Lorri works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting, relationships, trauma, and guilt and shame.
Lorri began her career in emergency services for children and families. She also completed evaluations and investigations for the Juvenile Courts, which shaped how she assesses safety and needs. Those early roles led her to broaden her work to trauma, adoption and foster care, and family of origin issues.
Her approach is person-centered and practical. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people build skills for managing strong emotions and stressful situations. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
In sessions she focuses on concrete strategies and clear goals. That can mean learning ways to cope with anxiety, shifting thought patterns that deepen guilt or shame, or practicing communication skills for strained relationships. She helps people sort through family and parenting stresses and find more manageable next steps.
Lorri is experienced with LGBTQ concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, and life transitions such as divorce or midlife questions. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her background in social work and varied clinical settings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lorri uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy elements. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person says so they can identify their own goals and values. CBT looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense emotions.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will work with each person to choose strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into workdays, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when energy or time is limited. Online work also makes it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation during sessions.
