Loretta Tillman, LPC, LCPC

Loretta Tillman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who want to feel more in control, find motivation, and live more authentically. Her work often addresses relationship concerns as well as stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and the impact of chronic illness.

She uses a warm, interactive, and supportive style in sessions. Loretta listens without judgment and treats people with dignity and respect. She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers the person rather than a diagnosis.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral tools and motivational interviewing. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused ideas when helpful. Those methods are mixed to fit what each person needs, rather than following a single script.

In practical sessions she helps people identify patterns, make clear choices, and set reachable steps toward goals. Conversations include noticing how thoughts affect feelings, building coping strategies for panic or chronic pain, and strengthening communication around relationship and intimacy concerns.

People who value collaboration and practical problem solving tend to do well with her. Loretta aims to guide clients toward increased motivation, clearer direction, and a steadier sense of self as they work through life changes and emotional challenges.

How approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and values, with the therapist following the client’s lead and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps people build self-awareness and make choices that match their authentic goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Online sessions using CBT often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing practical skills to manage anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal motivation to change. It uses curious questions and collaboration to strengthen commitment to goals like reducing substance use, improving routines, or making relationship changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose and adapt methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that may shift over time as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from quieter locations with fewer distractions. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum in treatment and support steady skill practice.
