About Lani

Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), a credential that identifies her as a trained professional in mental health counseling. She grew up in a small town in Hawaii and pursued her undergraduate studies in psychology through distance learning before earning a Master of Mental Health Counseling in 2007 from the University of Phoenix. She transitioned to an online-only practice at the start of the COVID pandemic and continues to meet with clients via telehealth.

Lani uses an eclectic, client-focused approach that blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, person-centered principles, brief therapy, and solution-focused work. She also pays close attention to psychoanalytic processes, exploring how past and present relationship experiences shape current patterns and challenges. Her style is described as warm and approachable, with an emphasis on helping people actively process experiences, learn more about themselves, and develop greater agency in their lives.

Collaboration and commitment are central to Lani’s model of care. She asks that clients engage in therapeutic work beyond weekly sessions by completing assigned tools and reflections in a timely way so she can review progress between meetings. Lani is interested in understanding what brings each person to therapy and aims to establish clear goals and practical steps so clients can make meaningful, lasting change.

Combining Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, encouraging action that aligns with personal values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional responses and connections, and it can be helpful for intimacy, trust, and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with daily challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lani works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, then adapts strategies so the therapeutic plan fits the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Clients and therapist explore what feels most effective and adjust as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when care happens - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging all make it possible to connect from different locations and life circumstances. For many people, this accessibility supports consistent attendance, easier scheduling around work and family, and the ability to continue care during transitions or travel, while working with licensed professionals who tailor methods to each client’s needs.
