Sessions tend to focus on real-life problems such as sleep, eating, parenting stress, relationship strain, and coping with life changes. She has experience supporting people through trauma, sexual assault survivorship, religious trauma, and compassion fatigue. Lori works with concerns that include addiction, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, body image, and grief.
She also helps with communication problems, codependency, and separation or divorce stressors. Lori offers several online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. International clients may be accommodated.

Online support
How Lori's Approaches Work Online
Existential therapy helps people explore meaning, choice, and values when life feels confusing or heavy. It can be useful for coping with loss, major life changes, or questions about purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while acting on chosen values. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression, and avoidance patterns.Lori aims to find the right fit collaboratively. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which approaches to try. That process is flexible and can change as needs and goals evolve over time.
Online therapy with Lori uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful for full-session conversations and skill work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when someone cannot be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing coaching-style contact between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules without losing continuity of care.
