About

I'm Douglas Lormand, a relationship therapist specializing in individual and couples therapy, sex therapy (AASECT), and other solution-focused work. I also offer on-demand service options (check out Doug-on-Demand) and can fit you into my schedule within the week. 


Why? Because we’ve all needed help at some point. When clinical access and support are out of reach, the panic you feel can leave you unequipped to manage the crisis you’re experiencing. 


So I don’t believe in letting relationship problems simmer one day longer than absolutely necessary. I want to help you find ways to manage the topics that are making you uncomfortable as soon as possible. 


So if you're ready to make that happen, then it's time we meet.

Working with an experienced and trained therapist is essential when it comes to relationship therapy. I have a range of clinical expertise and have worked in the most stringent of settings, including:

  • Private practice psychological and psychiatric settings.

  • Acute care psychiatric facilities.

  • Inpatient dual diagnosis rehabilitation facilities.

  • Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs).

  • Community based mental health services.

  • Mobile Crisis Outreach Teams.

You also need someone who’s trained to help you identify what is making you uncomfortable. My focus is primarily on sex and money topics, and high-conflict relationships. So I’ve made strides to get as much formal education in these areas as possible to make sure you get the right help.

 

I have identified and secured the most effective licenses and certifications in addition to my advanced education, including:

  • AASECT Certified Sex Therapist

  • Choice Theory Advanced Training

  • Gottman Level 3 Training

  • Master of Education in Counseling

  • Master of Science in Human Resource Development

Aside from my formal education and post-graduate training, I’ve been actively involved with the Glasser Institute for Choice Theory (GIFCT).

I draw on my extensive training and experience every day in my practice, so I can use my expertise as a relationship therapist to help you manage the topics in your life.

 

Building healthy relationships helps invite vitality into your reality and reduces depression. You can:

  • Better manage the topics in your life.

  • Cultivate satisfying and fulfilling relationships.

  • Discover the art and skill of making better choices.

Therapeutic Structure Builds Trust

Trust is not created through reassurance alone. It is earned through clarity, structure, and disciplined intervention.

 

I use evidence-based frameworks to help you analyze conflict with precision. Together, we identify repeating patterns, locate leverage points, and replace reactive cycles with deliberate strategy.

 

The objective is not endless discussion. It is measurable recalibration.

 

Over the course of my work, I’ve helped professionals, couples, and families move from misalignment to stability - and from instability to strength.

 

Clients learn to operate from composure rather than defensiveness.

From curiosity rather than control.

 

Communication becomes direct, efficient, and purposeful - not emotionally chaotic.
