Torey LaMothe, LPC

Torey LaMothe is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 39 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and life changes. She offers a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through painful experiences and learn ways to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Her work combines practical skills with attention to relationships and past wounds. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based methods to build tolerance for difficult feelings. Attachment-focused ideas and client-centered listening shape how she supports people struggling with intimacy, communication, and family-related concerns.

Torey takes a steady, patient stance in sessions. She listens first, then helps people try small, usable steps toward their goals. That might include practicing new ways to talk with a partner, building routines to manage mood, or learning techniques to reduce anxiety symptoms.

She has a long history working with people facing trauma, grief, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. Her background includes support for those dealing with parenting strain, adoption and foster care questions, body image and eating concerns, and neurodiversity-related issues such as autism and ADHD.

Clients can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. Torey emphasizes realistic tools that fit everyday life and a kind, nonjudgmental way of working that respects each person's pace and values.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections. It aims to improve communication, increase emotional understanding, and reduce patterns that create distance in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting based on what helps most.

For practical matters, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can guide skills practice between meetings so progress continues in everyday life.
