About Bosco
Dr. Bosco Lorio is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBT concerns among other issues. He speaks English and Spanish and practices in Georgia.
He has worked in hospital and outpatient clinic settings since 2006. Much of his work has involved the veteran population and people in the LGBTQ+ community, addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and questions around sexual identity and orientation. Trauma-focused care and LGBTQ+ studies are areas he has emphasized in his career.
His main approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combined with solution-focused work. He also integrates motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when useful. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and change unhelpful patterns.
Dr. Lorio describes his style as supportive and respectful. He prefers direct feedback and collaboration so the work stays focused on realistic goals. He aims to reduce stigma and avoid labels when possible so conversations stay about specific problems and next steps.
He currently practices part-time on this platform while working full-time at a hospital. Evening weekday hours and more weekend availability are noted in his profile. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to map out goals.
How cognitive and acceptance approaches work online
Dr. Lorio commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new, concrete skills to shift them. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences and choosing actions that reflect personal values rather than getting stuck on difficult thoughts or feelings.He also draws on client-centered ideas to keep conversations focused on the person’s perspective and uses mindfulness practices to build attention skills. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative step. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week - for example, scheduling an evening slot or a weekend meeting without travel. It also lets people try shorter check-ins or remote video when that suits a particular week. The focus is practical: shaping sessions to fit daily life while testing skill-based strategies drawn from CBT and ACT.
