She works from a warm, supportive stance that aims to make seeking help approachable and comfortable, and she adapts treatment to each person’s needs. With 12 years of professional experience, she has substantial background in addressing issues such as grief, parenting concerns, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her clinical style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and trauma-informed methods, shaping sessions around practical skills and the client’s values. Lori draws on mindfulness and existential ideas when helpful, and she emphasizes collaboration when developing a treatment plan.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care
Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is action-oriented and often includes strategies for coping with mood symptoms and managing daily challenges.Client-Centered Therapy is grounded in a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support while the client explores personal goals and values. This approach helps people feel heard and supported as they consider changes in relationships, parenting, or career. Trauma-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding the impact of traumatic events and developing strategies to process difficult experiences while restoring a sense of safety and functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to blend methods based on presenting needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This teamwork helps tailor sessions to what is most useful for the individual.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to support clients from various locations within the therapist's service area.
