About Torey

Torey LaMothe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 39 years of experience based in Mississippi. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are delivered in English and focus on practical steps people can use day to day.

She uses a mix of therapies that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful patterns, name the emotions behind reactions, and try skills that change how they respond to triggers. Work often focuses on communication habits, setting boundaries, and coping tools for high-stress moments.

Torey draws on long experience with grief, trauma, addiction, and relationship strain to help people manage the fallout those issues create. She also addresses related topics such as ADHD, self-esteem, body image, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to aging or chronic illness. Her approach is straightforward and skill-focused, with attention to how past attachment patterns shape current responses.

People who come for anger concerns can expect to learn strategies for noticing escalation, tolerating discomfort, and choosing different actions. Sessions emphasize concrete practices you can try between meetings, like behavioral experiments, grounding skills, and communication changes. The aim is better control over reactions rather than promises to remove anger.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when anger is tied to frustration about goals or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers experiments and skill practice to shift unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for managing-reactive thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which many people find helpful for intense anger moments.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to current goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can mix techniques so clients practice skills that make sense for their daily life and stressors.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people try behavioral experiments between meetings and bring examples from home or work into conversations for practical feedback.
