Lori Fitch, LPC

Lori Fitch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of experience providing outpatient therapy to people across the lifespan, from early childhood to older adulthood. She earned her degree from Chestnut Hill College in April 2001 and soon after gained significant experience supporting survivors and family members affected by the September 11th terrorist attacks. That early work shaped an ongoing focus on trauma, and she has pursued additional training in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to strengthen her clinical skills.

As a trained member of the Lehigh County "Flight Team," she travels to school districts to assist students and staff after crises, bringing calm and practical support to communities in need. In addition to outpatient practice, she works as a high school counselor, where she designs and implements programs that address students' mental health and offer guidance for parents.

Her therapeutic approach draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic insights, and rational-emotive strategies, all adapted to each person’s needs. Lori works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, addictions, identity and intimacy-related issues, and many other life changes. She offers an engaged, nonjudgmental style that blends active listening, practical direction, and a sense of humor to support clients through change.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Lori integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, empathetic relationship so clients feel heard and guided while exploring their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and simple techniques to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, and everyday overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lori collaborates with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, limited local access to services, or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, try different formats, and maintain continuity of support from wherever the client is located.
