About Lani
Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She practices online from Utah and works with issues that include parenting strain, sleep troubles, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career or life transitions. Lani emphasizes clear, practical steps and a warm, approachable style.
Her sessions mix evidence-based tools and talk therapy tailored to each person’s needs.
How Lani works
She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical skills, attachment-focused work, and client-centered listening. Lani aims to make therapy concrete so people can apply what they learn between sessions. She trained in mental health counseling and has practiced for 17 years.
Lani moved into online practice during the COVID pandemic and has continued offering telehealth since then. Her experience includes helping people cope with addiction, anger, communication problems, caregiver stress, and complex emotional patterns like dissociation or feelings of emptiness. Lani asks for an engaged approach to therapy.
She encourages completing homework and reflections between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment. That practical commitment helps the therapist review material and shape future sessions rather than receiving work only at session time. People who choose Lani can expect a collaborative process.
She prioritizes identifying goals together, creating steps to reach them, and adjusting methods over time. The focus is on building insight and usable skills so people can take more control of their daily lives.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is useful for managing anxiety, sleep problems, mood, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lani treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process based on a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. She starts by listening, suggests approaches that fit the presenting concerns, and adjusts techniques over time as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or work through exercises between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people maintain continuity of care when travel, work, or family demands make in-person visits difficult.
