About Lori
Known for attentive listening and a compassionate stance, Lori approaches sessions with sensitivity and practicality. She collaborates with individuals to produce a balanced plan that targets the issues they want to address, whether those involve grief, addiction, relationship challenges, anxiety, or life transitions. Her aim is to combine empathy with structured strategies so clients can work toward meaningful change.
Lori treats each engagement as a professional privilege and seeks to create an environment where people feel respected and supported while working toward their goals. As an LISW she holds an independent clinical social work credential and applies that training to provide clinical care tailored to each person’s needs.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Lori uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for changing behaviors - this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment awareness and self-regulation techniques that can reduce emotional reactivity and improve coping with difficult feelings. Solution-focused therapy is another component of her work, emphasizing goal-setting and small, concrete steps to build on strengths and produce measurable progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lori works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds to ensure the therapeutic plan remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy with Lori is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for different lifestyles. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to tailor session formats to each person’s comfort and routine.
