About Lori
Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She works with adults on depression, parenting challenges, ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, and life transitions. Lori speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She encourages each person to draw on their own strengths while moving toward clearer goals. In sessions Lori uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment principles to help people make choices that match their values. Attachment-based and client-centered methods shape how she builds trust and listens closely. Mindfulness tools are offered to manage difficult emotions and racing thoughts.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. Lori invites clients to set small, achievable goals and notices what works. She balances supportive listening with concrete strategies for coping, sleeping better, handling anger, and improving relationships.
This keeps work focused and practical. Many people seek Lori for guidance through big life changes like divorce, caregiving stress, or career shifts. She also supports those dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, body image, and chronic illness challenges.
Lori brings 15 years of experience and aims to help people feel more capable in daily life. To begin, she asks people to identify where they are struggling and what small steps feel doable. From there she and the client plan sessions that fit the person’s needs and pace.
How Lori’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and habits, which can assist with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy, giving people space to tell their story and find their own solutions, which supports healing from trauma and improving relationships.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Lori collaborates with each person to decide which approaches feel most useful, based on their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so the work stays practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people connect face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, short reflections, or when a written approach helps process thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different ways of working together.
