About Lorrie
Lorrie Herzberg is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in Massachusetts and California. She brings steady, practical care to people facing stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and trauma. Her style is respectful and straightforward, focused on what helps in daily life.
Lorrie helps people sort through relationship and intimacy concerns, career struggles, and the aches that come with aging or caregiving. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, cancer-related stress, and the fallout from separation or abandonment.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and find steps clients can try between sessions. Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centered work, EMDR for trauma, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas. She talks through which methods might fit a person’s needs and adapts as therapy progresses.
Sessions focus on concrete coping skills alongside deeper understanding of patterns and feelings. People who want a collaborative, calm guide tend to fit well. Lorrie emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people set realistic goals.
She balances supportive listening with practical tools to manage stress and build more satisfying daily routines. Clients can expect a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Work may include short-term strategies for immediate relief and longer-term exploration of life stories that shape current struggles.
Lorrie aims to empower each person to move toward clearer choices and steadier days.

Online support
How Lorrie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps the client set and reach practical goals, which is useful for stress, life changes, and relationship concerns.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process painful memories so they feel less overwhelming. It can be helpful when past events continue to cause anxiety or distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorrie will discuss options, try methods that match a person’s needs, and change course when something isn’t helping. This keeps therapy collaborative and tailored to real goals.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coaching between appointments, and options for people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
