About Lorri
Lorri Romesberg is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger, and with those managing relationship and parenting challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Romesberg began her career in emergency services for children and families affected by abuse and neglect. She has worked with adoption and foster care situations and has performed evaluations for the juvenile courts. Over time her caseload broadened to include trauma, mood disorders, and LGBTQ concerns.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She draws from client-centered work while using strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means sessions mix listening and reflection with concrete skills for managing emotions and behaviors.
In practice she helps people translate insights into action. Typical therapy tasks include identifying patterns that trigger anger or anxiety, testing new ways of responding, and practicing emotion regulation tools. She supports work on communication problems, attachment and family of origin issues, and recovery from betrayal or loss.
Romesberg emphasizes collaboration on goals and plans. Clients and she set realistic steps to try between sessions. Her background in social work and child protection informs how she frames safety, boundaries, and practical problem solving.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
She commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by offering clear steps to test between sessions. DBT emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for persistent anger and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help assess the client's needs and preferences and then suggest which methods to emphasize. Goals and methods are adjusted as the work progresses so clients practice what fits their daily life.
