About LoriAnn
LoriAnn Ford is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with six years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. LoriAnn also focuses on body image, communication problems, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety, and workplace issues.
She uses straightforward conversation to understand what feels most urgent for each person. Sessions center on practical strategies and small steps that can be used between appointments. LoriAnn draws from approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide work together.
In early sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems active and looks for skills that reduce distress. She helps people name what is happening, try new responses, and track what changes. Work may include emotion regulation techniques, communication practice, and thought-focused exercises from CBT.
LoriAnn aims to make sessions direct and usable for everyday life. She will discuss goals and plan follow-up steps that fit family, work, and money pressures. The focus is on clear, realistic efforts that can be repeated outside of sessions.
People who choose her typically want practical support for mood, stress, or relationship strain. She explains methods in plain language and checks in on whether the approach feels helpful as therapy progresses.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify priorities and feel heard while they decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for panic, social anxiety, and repetitive negative thinking.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. LoriAnn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying ideas, checking results, and adjusting as needed rather than assuming one path will always be best.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into busy schedules. Confirm the current session formats before booking to see which options are offered. Online work can make it easier to meet during a lunch break, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when life is hectic. The focus is on making therapy usable alongside family, work, and health demands rather than on a fixed model of care.
