Lorisa Jones has been in practice 8 years and is licensed in New York. Lorisa lists stress, Anxiety, self esteem and depression among 4 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.

01 · Who Lorisa works with
Lorisa lists 4 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Lorisa chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Lorisa's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Life often asks us to juggle more than feels manageable. I help clients prioritize self-care and work through the mental health challenges, work pressures, relationship strains, and everyday stressors that get in the way of living the life they want.
I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership. Meaningful change happens when therapist and client work together toward goals that matter to you-which is why my practice is grounded in a strength-based perspective. You bring insight into your own life; I bring tools, perspective, and a space where you can express your thoughts and emotions freely.
Having a voice in your therapeutic journey isn't optional-it's central. Clients deserve a therapist who listens fully, stays curious, and remains committed to their growth. I strive to be that presence, session after session.
If this resonates, I'd welcome a brief consultation to see if we're a good fit.

03 · What happens next
Lorisa practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Lorisa's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Lorisa at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Lorisa is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Lorisa.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
