Background and approach

For people wrestling with grief, depression, low confidence, or big life shifts, Lori offers simple coping tools. She also supports those navigating workplace strain, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and feelings of guilt or loss of purpose. Sessions focus on concrete skills and short-term goals when that’s helpful.

Lori has seven years of professional experience and holds a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential in Minnesota. She practices in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is collaborative and outcome-oriented without promising any particular result.

People can expect direct conversation, practical homework when useful, and attention to what the client wants to achieve. Lori frames therapy as a team effort and checks in often about what is helpful. The aim is steady progress through small, manageable changes.

Practical approaches for online anxiety and life changes

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's goals and values, with the therapist listening and following the person's lead to build on strengths. This approach helps when someone wants to be heard and to shape a plan that fits their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and trying specific behavior changes to test new ways of responding. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and depression to create measurable shifts.

Lori sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and blend techniques that suit those needs. Together they choose which skills to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varying routines.
