About Loretta

Dr. Loretta Markus practices as a licensed psychologist in Wisconsin and brings seven years of professional experience to her work.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family challenges, and cope with major life changes. Her background includes work with concentration and memory concerns, attention and focus issues, mood disorders, addiction, trauma and abuse, and a range of intimacy and identity-related concerns.

Dr. Markus describes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach to care, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's circumstances and preferences.

She integrates evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed methods, aiming to equip clients with practical skills for everyday life. Prospective clients are encouraged that taking the initial step toward therapy is meaningful; she frames the first contact as the beginning of a collaborative process tailored to individual needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and skill building

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more balanced alternatives; it is commonly used to address anxiety, mood concerns, stress, and some relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist supports the client’s own goals and insights, which can be especially helpful when navigating life changes, identity concerns, or interpersonal problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and intrusive thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is part of collaborative care; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are flexible and may combine techniques so the client can try strategies and adjust the direction of work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access therapy from home or while traveling, maintain continuity during life transitions, and pick the communication style that fits daily routines and therapeutic goals.
