How Lapree works
Sessions often focus on improving communication, building confidence, and handling life transitions. Lapree helps clients tackle related issues such as loneliness, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, and questions about life purpose. Money and workplace problems are discussed in practical terms, with attention to how they affect daily mood and relationships.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment wounds, forgiveness, and struggles around self-love. Young adult issues are included among her focus areas and are approached with straightforward guidance. Lapree aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
She encourages small, achievable changes and helps people track progress over time. Her style is calm, encouraging, and goal-oriented. Sessions are offered by a clinician licensed in Illinois, and English is used for therapy.
International clients may be served depending on scheduling and logistics. The process begins with a simple intake and a plan based on the client’s immediate needs and goals.

Online support options
Evidence-based techniques offered online
Lapree uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional support. One common approach is short-term skills work that teaches breathing, grounding, and problem-solving strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress. These tools are useful for people needing things they can try between sessions.She also works with emotion-focused conversations that help people name and make sense of difficult feelings like shame, guilt, abandonment, or emptiness. That style helps clients build self-compassion and clearer communication with others. When workplace or money stress is on the table, sessions center on concrete problem-solving and planning to reduce daily strain.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, notice what helps most in early sessions, and adjust techniques to fit each person’s needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to try and how to pace progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Live chat or text works well for quick check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life and to keep momentum between meetings.
