About Lori
Lori Brax is a licensed social worker in Kansas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. With 12 years of professional experience as an LSCSW, she adapts conversations and care plans to fit each person's situation and priorities.
Background and approach
Lori emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as the foundation for her work and supports clients through life transitions, relationship concerns, issues with sleep and eating, and a range of mental health and caregiving stresses.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies for change, and also brings experience addressing addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Lori offers guidance around aging and geriatric issues, caregiver strain, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability concerns, and recovery after sexual assault.
Her practice aims to partner with clients to set realistic goals and build skills that carry into daily life.
CBT-informed Care Available Through Online Sessions
Many clients start by looking for practical tools to manage anxiety, stress, grief, or anger, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core approach Lori uses to do that. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, testing them, and practicing alternatives to reduce distress and improve functioning.Lori also brings a problem-focused, skills-based orientation that pairs well with online formats; this approach emphasizes concrete strategies for sleep, eating patterns, motivation, and coping with life changes such as caregiving or loss. Each approach is described and applied in plain language so clients can try techniques between sessions and track progress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lori works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time to better fit individual needs and circumstances. She emphasizes partnership in selecting and refining techniques rather than prescribing a single path.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from Kansas without commuting, helping clients maintain continuity of care while balancing daily responsibilities.
