Dr. Bosco Lorio, LMHC, LPC

Dr. Bosco Lorio is a licensed counselor practicing in Georgia with two decades of experience in mental health. He holds the credential LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on relationship concerns alongside a broad range of emotional and life challenges.

He has worked since 2006 in hospital and outpatient clinic settings. Much of his work has involved veterans and people in the LGBTQ+ community, addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and questions around sexual identity and orientation. That background informs how he approaches sensitive topics like trauma and grief.

His style is warm and supportive. He emphasizes respect, dignity, and clear feedback so people feel heard and understood. He aims to reduce stigma and avoid labels that get in the way of making changes.

Dr. Lorio primarily uses cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused methods and adapts other approaches such as mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment therapy when helpful. He tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s situation and goals.

He offers sessions part-time on the platform while working full-time at a hospital, with evening weekday hours and more weekend availability. If someone is ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life, he offers collaborative support to help make that change.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control behavior. It focuses on values and small steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship setbacks. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in relationships and improving communication and connection when intimacy or trust is strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time to fit real needs and progress.

Confirm current session options before booking because session formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, for example by avoiding travel or allowing a shorter check-in when needed. It also lets people use evening or weekend hours that match the therapist’s availability, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
