Lorri Romesberg, LICSW

Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. She has spent over a decade in social work and brings a calm, practical style to sessions. Lorri focuses on everyday thoughts and habits to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and relationship concerns.

She trained at Boston University where she earned a master’s degree in social work and completed undergraduate studies in social work at Cornell University. Early in her career she worked in emergency services for children and with families affected by abuse and neglect. That work included evaluations and investigations for the Juvenile Courts.

Over time her practice grew to include parenting, adoption and foster care issues, LGBTQ matters, trauma, depression, and ADHD. She helps people facing grief, life transitions, career strain, sleep problems, anger, and questions about intimacy and identity. She also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

In sessions she uses a person-centered approach and draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns, build everyday coping habits, and practice emotion regulation skills. The work is collaborative and focused on practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Lorri aims to develop a plan that fits each person’s goals. She emphasizes straightforward discussion, manageable strategies, and steady progress toward clearer routines and healthier ways of handling stress.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing each person’s experience and shaping goals around what matters to them. It emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration to help people feel understood and involved in decisions about their care.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and build everyday habits that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better sleep.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, includes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can be helpful for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques or combinations that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is tracked.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, and help people practice skills in the settings where problems occur. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to support steady work on thoughts and everyday habits without promising a specific format.
