Lori blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals. Sessions typically focus on skill-building, pacing change, and connecting choices to values.

Her background includes licensure as an LCSW and LICSW in Minnesota and California. That clinical experience informs how she tailors plans to an individual's needs and strengths. The emphasis is on a partnership where the client helps set priorities and pace.

Mindfulness, skills work, and online counseling options

Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breath to help people notice thoughts and feelings without reacting immediately. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, emotion regulation, and coping with cravings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are to build a trusting working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose practices and strategies that fit their goals and daily life. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can guide mindfulness and CBT practices during remote sessions, and skills practiced in session can be applied between appointments to support steady progress.
