About Lori

She talks with clients about real-life struggles and practical steps they can try between sessions.

She believes people are the experts on their own lives and builds from what already works. Her work often centers on developing coping skills for life changes and improving day-to-day functioning.
How Lori works
Lori uses clear, goal-oriented tools alongside supportive conversations to help people move forward. Over seven years of practice in Minnesota have given her experience with caregiver strain, blended family challenges, workplace stress, and aging-related concerns. She brings that background into sessions in a calm, matter-of-fact way.
Clients can expect a mix of practical techniques and reflective space to process difficult emotions. Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person's needs. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies for managing thoughts and emotions.
Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing techniques are added when helpful to increase awareness and motivation for change. Sessions are offered in English and structured to match each person's goals. Lori supports people who want steady, skills-based work as well as those who need time to sort out grief or major life transitions.
She aims to make therapy useful and doable in everyday life.

How Lori's Approaches Work Online
Lori uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on what matters most to each person. That approach emphasizes listening, understanding, and building on strengths to help people clarify goals and feel heard.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different coping strategies. CBT work often includes small exercises between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping, with concrete techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Lori will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their life. She adjusts strategies over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or homework questions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while keeping focus on real-world skills and steady progress.
