About Lori
Lori approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths that can be built on to address current struggles. Her work emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and skills development so clients can manage symptoms, improve relationships, and move toward greater clarity about life purpose and decision-making. She is trained as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - a credential that reflects specialized training in relational and family systems as well as individual therapy.
Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Lori recognizes the courage involved in taking that first step. She aims to create a supportive therapeutic partnership that meets clients where they are and helps them develop lasting tools to cope with panic, social fears, trauma-related symptoms, parenting stress, and other challenges.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Lori uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical skills and addressing the underlying patterns that contribute to distress. One approach emphasizes skill-based coping strategies - teaching tools for managing anxiety, panic, and difficult emotions so clients can reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Another approach is trauma-informed work that helps people process upsetting experiences at a pace that feels manageable while reducing the intensity of trauma-related symptoms and improving safety in relationships. Lori also integrates interventions geared toward parenting and family dynamics, helping caregivers develop clear communication, boundaries, and strategies for parent-teen conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lori works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans and adjusts techniques over time to ensure the work feels effective and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many clients - video calls and phone sessions provide face-to-face interaction without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging can offer additional flexibility and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
