Lorrie Herzberg , LCSW, LICSW

Lorrie Herzberg is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. She maintains licenses in both Massachusetts and California and brings a steady, compassionate presence to work with aging parents, career concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and the complex emotional effects of illness and caregiving. Lorrie holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW - both indicate clinical social work licensure that authorizes independent practice and reflects advanced professional training.

Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical support while tailoring dialog and treatment plans to each person’s needs. She integrates research-validated and modern therapeutic methods to address problems such as abandonment, codependency, chronic pain or illness, first responder stress, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Lorrie frames therapy as a collaborative process that empowers people to explore family of origin patterns, forgiveness, career shifts, and recovery from trauma and loss. Seeking change takes courage, and Lorrie provides steady encouragement and clinical guidance to help clients move toward greater well-being and fulfillment.

Approaches for Online Healing and Change

Lorrie uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client’s goals and values guide each session - this approach helps with stress, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns by emphasizing empathy and personal strengths. She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured method that supports processing of traumatic memories and intense emotional experiences to reduce their ongoing impact. Mindfulness therapy is offered as well, teaching practical attention and acceptance skills that help manage anxiety, depression, and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorrie works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods collaboratively rather than prescribing a single path. This helps ensure the plan fits the individual’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy with Lorrie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and health commitments while connecting with licensed professionals and therapists trained to support recovery and growth.
