About Lorie
Lorie Muellenbach is a California Psychologist (CA Psychologist 33283) and an Arizona Psychologist (AZ Psychologist PSY-006099) with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, anger, and ADHD. She sees adults and older adults and offers services in Arizona in English.
She helps people slow down and gain perspective when life feels overwhelming. Sessions look at immediate concerns like burnout, panic, or grief and also practical steps to manage day-to-day stress. She works with clients to build skills for emotional regulation and clearer communication at home.
Her background includes experience across the lifespan, and she notes work with neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD and learning differences. That experience informs how she adapts strategies so they fit different ways of thinking and living. She also addresses adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress.
In sessions she blends emotional support with problem-solving. Conversations cover what is happening now and what can be tried between sessions. She aims to help clients develop routines, coping tools, and ways to repair or improve strained relationships at home.
Practical matters such as scheduling, costs, and the subscription used for sessions are handled through the service’s booking flow. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Many clients benefit from structured, evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and practical skills. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new actions that reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. Behavioral strategies can include step-by-step plans for exposure, activity scheduling, or routines that reduce overwhelm.Skills-based work for regulation and executive functioning is useful for clients with ADHD or impulsivity. This involves breaking tasks into manageable steps, building predictable daily routines, and practicing strategies to manage attention and impulsive reactions. These methods aim to reduce reactivity and make home life more manageable.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review the client’s goals, current struggles, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Together they monitor what helps and adjust methods as therapy progresses.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the available session types during the matching process to choose what fits your schedule and needs.
