About Lori
Lori Parrs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, eating concerns, and other life challenges. Lori aims to create a calm and practical space where people can talk through what’s happening and take small, manageable steps forward.
Her work often focuses on body image and eating-related problems, compulsive overeating, exercise and food addiction, and issues tied to self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, caregiver stress, and career or life transitions. ADHD, bipolar challenges, and substance use are also among the concerns she addresses. Lori uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift patterns of thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and acceptance methods help people tolerate difficult feelings and stay present. Client-centered skills shape sessions around the person’s priorities and pace.
Her style is warm, accepting, and action-oriented. She aims to meet people where they are in the change process and co-create goals that feel realistic. Sessions typically emphasize practical tools, brief skill-building, and real-world steps to try between meetings.
People seeking help can expect straightforward language, focused planning, and encouragement to try new coping strategies. Lori welcomes working with international clients and conducts sessions in English from her Florida practice.
How Lori’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person’s own goals, using empathic listening and collaborative pacing to shape each step.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will talk with each person about what they want to change and which methods feel most comfortable. Together they decide whether to emphasize acceptance skills, cognitive techniques, or a person-centered pace, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, between-session coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on concrete tools and steady progress.
