Lori uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment coping skills.
Her background includes individual and group counseling in mental health settings and administrative roles across social service programs. That mix of clinical and program experience shapes how she organizes work and sets clear goals with clients. Lori has been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan for over 15 years and has worked in the field for two decades.
In a session she is interactive and focused on concrete steps people can try between meetings. Sessions often include practical exercises, short planning conversations, and chances to notice what made a difference. She avoids labels and keeps the conversation centered on what a person wants to do next.
People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, health challenge, or other life transition may find this approach useful. Lori helps people name what matters next and figure out small, manageable steps toward that direction.
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify priorities and feel understood while deciding what to try next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching ways to test and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness therapy builds awareness of present-moment experience and simple practices to reduce reactivity. It can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process often begins with short practical goals and adjustments over time.
