About

Dr. Lorri McNeal. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals (including children, adolescents, and teens), couples, and families. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a happy and fulfilling life, and I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential. My approach I take a holistic approach to therapy, and I believe that the mind, body, and spirit are all interconnected. I use a variety of evidence-based therapies. My therapeutic approach is based on the following principles: Collaboration: I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. I work with my clients to understand their goals and to develop a treatment plan that is right for them. Evidence-based practice: I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). These approaches have been shown to be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions. Client-centered care: I believe that the client is the expert on their own life. I focus on helping my clients to understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to develop coping mechanisms to manage them. Positive psychology: I believe that it is important to focus on my clients' strengths and resources, as well as their challenges. I help my clients to develop a positive outlook on life and to set realistic and achievable goals. My specific approach to therapy will vary depending on the individual client's needs and goals. However, I am committed to providing my clients with a safe and supportive environment in which they can grow and heal. Here are some specific ways that I can help my clients: Identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs. Develop coping mechanisms for stress, anxiety, and depression. Improve communication and relationship skills. Set and achieve goals. Build self-esteem and confidence. Increase resilience and well-being.
