About Torey

Torey LaMothe is an MS LPC with 39 years of experience practicing in Mississippi. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, addiction, grief, and many related issues. Sessions address practical problems people bring, such as parenting strains, work stress, or difficulty with intimacy and self-esteem.

Torey draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify difficult emotions. She uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with attention to feelings that are hard to name.

Her work includes attention to specific concerns like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver stress. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, commitment issues, body image, and eating concerns. These topics are described plainly and explored step by step with each person.

Torey helps people develop concrete skills for coping with anger, ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She blends techniques that focus on thoughts and behaviors with approaches that explore emotions and attachment needs. The result is a balanced, practical way to work through ongoing challenges.

People who reach out will be asked to describe their current situation and goals. From there she helps set reasonable first steps and ongoing targets for therapy. The emphasis is on manageable changes and clearer emotional understanding rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in her practice focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions that influence behavior. EFT helps people see patterns in how they react and connect those reactions to relationship and attachment needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and emotional responses.

Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative step. She will talk with each person about current needs and goals, and together they will try methods that fit those priorities. Clients influence the pace and focus of work so sessions align with what matters most to them.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. They also allow people to continue regular work on emotions and behavior without changing their routine, and can support ongoing practice of skills between meetings.
