About Lorie
Lorie Boyd is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 26 years of clinical experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues around self esteem. Her work also covers relationship and communication problems, addictions, grief, and career concerns.
She uses a straightforward, compassionate style that centers the person's experience. Sessions focus on listening first, then on practical steps that help people feel steadier day to day. Lorie pays close attention to how culture, prejudice, and discrimination shape a person’s struggles and strengths.
Her background includes long experience helping people heal from sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, and other trauma. She also addresses first responder issues, family of origin problems, and post-traumatic stress. Clients often work on building self-love, communication skills, and coping plans for difficult moments.
Lorie draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Together these make room for both emotional support and practical change. She aims to help people move from survival to a more hopeful, functional daily life.
Based in New York, Lorie brings attention to multicultural concerns and to the ways life events affect mental health. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set achievable goals for growth and stronger relationships.
