Lorey Delap, LCSW

Lorey Delap, LCSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, caregiver stress, grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She also works with people facing attention challenges, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and career concerns.

With 17 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Hampshire, Lorey focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Sessions center on listening, clarifying what matters, and building simple strategies that fit daily life. She aims to make the work doable between appointments.

Her approach blends client-centered conversations with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. She also uses EMDR when past events are getting in the way of present functioning. Solution-focused techniques help people identify small, concrete changes that move them forward.

Lorey pays close attention to how attachment and communication patterns affect relationships and stress levels. She helps caregivers explore emotional strain and develop ways to reduce burnout. When trauma and post-traumatic stress are present, she outlines options and steps clients can take gradually.

Appointments emphasize collaboration and clear goals. Clients can expect practical exercises, skill-building, and gentle pacing around difficult material. Lorey aims to help people leave sessions with at least one thing they can try before the next meeting.

How her approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy puts the client's priorities front and center. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters, and helps clarify goals and values so sessions stay relevant to real life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress, with exercises people can practice between sessions.

EMDR addresses distress linked to past events by using structured processing to reduce how upsetting memories feel. It is often used when trauma or post-traumatic stress symptoms are interfering with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together based on a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and pacing.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits of remote work include fitting appointments into a busy week, shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and fewer logistics around travel. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what to expect so arrangements match your routine.
