About Torey

Torey LaMothe is a licensed professional counselor with 39 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can use every day to manage feelings and rebuild routines. Torey aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters to them and learn new habits that fit their life.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. Attachment-based ideas inform how past relationships influence today's reactions, and Client-Centered therapy keeps sessions focused on each person's pace and priorities.

Torey has worked with people across many life stages and challenges over nearly four decades. She helps with issues such as parenting stress, caregiving strain, body image and eating concerns, workplace pressure, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and intimacy-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster-care histories, chronic illness, and grief.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Mississippi. Torey describes her role as a steady companion through change - listening, reflecting, and offering tools that can be tried between meetings. To begin, clients are invited to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or overwhelming worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people form more helpful ways to relate to others and to themselves.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits best. Clients take part in deciding which approaches to focus on and how to practice new habits between sessions.

Specific online session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Online work also makes it straightforward to try practice exercises at home and to bring real-life situations into conversation with the therapist.
