About Lori
Lori Truesdell uses a warm, steady style grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She brings 32 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker and keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Lori aims to help people find clearer thinking, better coping skills, and small steps toward feeling better.
Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also helps with isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, panic attacks, and social anxiety.
How Lori works
Lori listens for what matters most and shapes sessions around everyday problems and goals. In sessions she lays out practical tools people can try between meetings. That often means noticing unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
She explains CBT techniques plainly so they can be used in daily life. Clients can expect an approachable tone with steady support and occasional humor when it fits. Lori emphasizes rebuilding resilience, finding purpose, and strengthening connections one step at a time.
Her focus is on usable strategies rather than complicated jargon. Based in Indiana, Lori offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

CBT and Online Support for Everyday Problems
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change how they feel. It focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, and social fears.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief tools, or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain consistent contact with a licensed professional.
