Background and approach

Lori also has experience with trauma and substance-related concerns and offers support around divorce and separation issues. In sessions she aims for straightforward conversation and practical steps. Lori encourages clients to talk through what feels hard and to set small, manageable goals.

She frames therapy as a place to work toward greater calm, clearer communication, and better coping with life changes. Lori draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to each person. She can combine coaching-style work with clinical counseling depending on a client’s goals.

The result is a plan focused on what the person wants to change and how to get there. Outside of clinical details, Lori highlights compassion and nonjudgmental support. She invites people to take a step toward change and to schedule a first appointment when they are ready.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Lori lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Two evidence-based therapeutic techniques Lori uses are solution-focused strategies and trauma-informed care. Solution-focused work zeroes in on what the person wants to change and builds small, concrete steps to reach those goals. Trauma-informed care recognizes how past stressful events can shape reactions and teaches coping skills to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning lets techniques be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people have conversations that feel close to in-person meetings. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is easier to arrange. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
