About Lori

Lori Cline is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with seven years of professional experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions. She works with clients to build motivation, strengthen self-esteem and confidence, and develop practical coping strategies for the challenges they face. Lori approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping them identify strengths they can draw on while navigating difficult emotions and circumstances.

Licensed to practice in Minnesota and North Dakota, Lori blends evidence-based techniques with an empathetic, client-centered stance to create a supportive space for change. She aims to meet clients where they are, recognizing that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage. Lori offers steady guidance and collaborative support as clients set goals and work toward meaningful progress, whether they are coping with loss, managing workplace stress, or exploring life purpose in midlife.

From addressing caregiver stress and blended family dynamics to exploring guilt, shame, and communication problems, Lori focuses on practical strategies that align with each person’s values and preferences. She is based in Minnesota and provides therapy in English.

Approaches and Online Support for Emotional Well-being

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experiences and goals, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support while clients lead the direction of change; this approach helps when someone needs validation and encouragement to explore their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques - it is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Lori collaborates with each person to determine which approaches - alone or in combination - best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the work, and she partners with clients to adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support from therapists without sacrificing personal or work commitments, and they allow clients to maintain continuity of care during periods of transition.
