About Lorie
Lorie Muellenbach is a CA Psychologist (California Psychologist 33283) and an AZ Psychologist (PSY-006099) with nine years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Lorie works in a straightforward, collaborative way. She listens to what is happening now, then helps build useful strategies to respond differently. Conversations cover both feelings and what to try between sessions. Her style blends emotional support with concrete problem-solving.
She has worked across many life stages and with people facing transitions and losses. That experience informs how she tailors plans to everyday routines and responsibilities. The emphasis is on skills that fit a person's schedule and priorities.
Lorie also supports people navigating adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, caregiving stress, and aging concerns. She addresses impulse control, obsessions and compulsions, mood problems, panic, and communication difficulties as part of broader treatment planning.
When attention differences or intellectual disability are present, she focuses on clearer structure and practical tools. Sessions aim to reduce shame and guilt, improve forgiveness where wanted, and strengthen a sense of direction and purpose. People leave with steps to try between meetings and ways to measure progress.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Many of Lorie's approaches are evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavior change. Cognitive-based methods help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts that fuel anger, anxiety, or shame; they teach practical ways to test and change patterns that lead to reactive behavior. Behavioral strategies break problems into manageable steps, using experiments and routine changes to reduce panic, impulsivity, or compulsive habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will review what is most helpful for the issues you bring and tailor techniques to your goals and daily life. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clearer.
Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, keep check-ins brief when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these advantages to practice skills between sessions and to maintain steady support while you apply new strategies to real situations.
