Lori S. Cignarella, LICSW

For over twenty-five years I have worked in the mental health field providing individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy to diverse client populations. I have extensive training and experience working with adults across the life span to address issues such as depression, anxiety and trauma. I treat individuals struggling with low self-esteem, life transitions, grief/loss, relationship conflict, family-related stress, women's and midlife issues, as well as substance abuse. I also offer therapy to caregivers, affected others and those experiencing medical, financial, academic and occupational stressors. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based with an emphasis on establishing a genuine, empathic, safe and trusting therapeutic alliance. I offer support and understanding, while encouraging coping skills, decision making and problem solving skills, as well as fostering increased self-awareness, acceptance and empowerment. I utilize various treatment modalities, including insight-oriented, solution focused, interpersonal and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques based upon the specific needs of each client. I'm passionate about the therapeutic process and dedicated to helping clients maximize their potential to have more fulfilling and enriched lives. Appointments are offered via Telehealth. I look forward to seeing you.
