About Bosco
He has worked in hospitals and outpatient clinics since 2006. Much of his experience includes working with veterans and people in the LGBTQ+ community on issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, and questions about sexual identity and orientation. He emphasizes reducing stigma and avoids labels when possible.
His main style blends cognitive and behavioral methods with solution-focused work. He also draws on motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when those fit the person’s needs. Dr. Lorio shapes each conversation and plan to what a person actually wants to change.
In sessions he aims to be compassionate, respectful, and direct. He values feedback and adjusts his approach so therapy matches where the person is now. The goal is practical steps toward clearer values and better daily functioning.
He maintains clinical work while also working full time in a hospital, so he offers evening appointments on weekdays and more weekend availability. If someone is ready to take steps toward change, he offers support and guidance through the process.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward them. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These skills are useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving people space to lead sessions while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support and reflection.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape goals, homework, and session focus so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, such as evening or weekend meetings around work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time on days when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques to work well in remote sessions, keeping the focus on clear goals and practical change.
