About Lori
Lori Parrs is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She has spent that time working in a range of settings and with people facing many kinds of struggles. Lori focuses on practical help and clear steps people can use right away.
Her main concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, eating and body image problems, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, career changes, bipolar challenges, and ADHD.
How Lori works
Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. She uses a mix of approaches that fit each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Lori often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness techniques.
Sessions tend to be action-oriented and focused on skills people can practice between meetings. Lori aims for a warm and accepting atmosphere. She helps people identify small changes and practical goals, and she adjusts her work to match where someone is in the change process.
The focus is on usable strategies and steady progress rather than on jargon or lengthy theory. People who are looking for straightforward, skill-based support may find her approach helpful. Lori works with clients in English and accepts international clients who connect from other locations.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on actions that match what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, anxiety, and eating or body-image struggles.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Lori works with each person to identify goals, tries techniques that fit those goals, and adjusts the plan based on what helps. The process is meant to be flexible so clients can test ideas and keep what works for them.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and messaging is useful for short updates or practicing skills between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
