About Torey
Torey LaMothe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 39 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. She also supports those struggling with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and self-esteem issues.
Her style is warm and direct. She creates a calm space where people can talk through painful memories and current struggles. Torey listens for patterns in behavior and emotion, then works with each person to find practical steps they can try between sessions.
She uses several everyday approaches to therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and meaningful action. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns that shape how people connect with others.
Across sessions she emphasizes skills people can use in daily life. That can mean pacing exposure to difficult feelings, building problem-solving routines, or practicing communication techniques. The work aims to reduce overwhelm and increase choices in how someone responds to stress.
Based in Mississippi and licensed as an LPC, Torey brings decades of practice to complex life issues. She frames progress as small changes that add up over time. People who want straightforward guidance and steady support will find a practical approach to healing and growth.

Step 3
Approaches you can try in online sessions
Torey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that increase distress and teaching practical skills to change them.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Torey will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit your situation. She adapts techniques to what you need, and you can give feedback so the plan changes as you progress.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping momentum between appointments. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use online work to teach coping skills, run structured exercises, and support steady progress without requiring the same travel as in-person visits.
