How Lori works
Lori pays attention to how attachment and relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability, and those managing mood swings and panic attacks.

She supports people who are exploring forgiveness, self-love, and life purpose. Pregnancy, childbirth, body image, and women's issues are also areas she addresses in her practice. Her style is warm and collaborative.
Sessions focus on clear steps the client can try between meetings, and on building coping skills that fit each person’s life. Lori aims to make therapy a place for honest conversation and practical change. Clients can expect a therapist who listens closely, asks straightforward questions, and offers down-to-earth strategies.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online care
Many of Lori's methods center on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills practice and changing unhelpful patterns. One approach helps people identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or low mood, offering simple strategies to test in daily life. Another approach emphasizes building emotional awareness and safer ways of relating to others, which can help with attachment issues, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and what doesn’t, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so it fits the client's pace and needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have full conversation and see facial cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and to keep contact flexible and consistent.
