About Lori

Lori emphasizes actionable strategies clients can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and make steady progress.

Her work is solution-focused and collaborative, centering on skill-building for communication, boundaries, anger management, and healthy habits. She also supports people coping with relationship strains, grief, caregiving stress, adoption and foster-care issues, and other complex life circumstances.

For those who wish to integrate faith into counseling, Lori offers Biblical encouragement alongside clinical work. She practices in Indiana and holds the credentials LMHC and LPCC, with license details maintained in state records.

Approaches that guide online therapy and flexible access



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing anger by teaching concrete strategies for shifting responses to stressors.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and increasing psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action. This approach can support people facing life transitions, grief, or persistent worry by helping them engage with meaningful goals despite difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and will adapt plans as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit consistent therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home or work while using the therapeutic approaches described above to build skills and move toward stated goals.
