About Loire
She earned her Master's of Counseling from the University of South Florida and brings 24 years of experience across inpatient care, outpatient facilities, and private practice. Loire uses active listening and empathy as core parts of sessions, creating space for people to tell their story without judgment.
Her work draws on several approaches to match what feels most helpful. Loire uses Client-Centered techniques to focus on the person’s perspective. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and elements of Solution-Focused work to build concrete skills and choices.
In sessions Loire helps people name their priorities, reduce overwhelming feelings, and try new ways of coping. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting or caregiver stress, body-image concerns, chronic illness or pain, and recovery from trauma or domestic violence. The focus is on finding realistic, manageable steps forward.
Loire schedules live sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays in 30- to 60-minute blocks between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. To begin, she asks people to select a Start Therapy option and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Loire’s approaches translate to online work
Loire uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward what matters, even when feelings are difficult. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful action rather than only changing thoughts.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting each person where they are. That makes it easier to build trust and figure out what methods will actually fit into someone’s life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to teach practical skills for managing mood, sleep, and stressful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Loire will work with each person to test methods and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques feel most useful and sustainable for daily life.
Session formats are not fully specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen around work or caregiving roles. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to help people use skills between meetings.
