About Lori
Lori Karman is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional clinical counselor with 15 years of experience working with adults. She practices in Indiana and focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She favors a solution-focused style that emphasizes useful tools and small steps. Sessions center on identifying problems, trying straightforward strategies, and adjusting what isn’t working.
Background and approach
Lori helps people practice communication skills, set boundaries, and manage anger in ways that fit their lives. Many clients seek her support for parenting challenges, career shifts, sleep difficulties, grief, or changing relationship patterns. She also addresses concerns such as attachment wounds, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, body image, and coping after disasters.
Lori offers Biblical encouragement for clients who want to include Christian faith in therapy. In sessions she mixes practical techniques with a compassionate, client-centered attitude. That means clients guide the goals while she offers options and feedback.
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can use right away. People who choose Lori should expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and homework they can try between sessions. Her focus is on helping clients gain skills, increase self-esteem, and move forward with more confidence.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thought patterns and trying different behaviors to change how a problem feels and works in daily life. Both methods are practical and pair well with short exercises clients can practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process so clients can weigh what feels useful and what doesn’t, and change direction as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is best when visual cues help the work, phone can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is low, and messaging is helpful for brief updates or when a written check-in suits a client’s routine. These options support flexibility and let people fit therapy into busy lives while still using ACT and CBT techniques.
