Background and approach
Lori teaches coping skills for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and managing mood swings so clients can handle harder days more smoothly. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, career stress, and self-esteem struggles. Lori is attentive to issues that affect LGBTQ+ people and aims to create an affirming space for exploration.
She works with clients who have histories of trauma and uses approaches suited to processing difficult memories. Lori draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing where appropriate. She explains methods plainly and adapts techniques to each person’s pace.
Clients learn practical tools as well as ways to track progress over time. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Lori practices in Michigan and holds an MI LMSW credential.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people and schedule an initial appointment.
How Lori’s approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by setting clear goals and practicing skills between sessions.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can help when strong emotions, anger, or mood swings get in the way of daily life.
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process painful memories and reduce their intensity. When appropriate, parts of EMDR can be adapted for online sessions to work through difficult experiences.
Lori approaches these methods collaboratively. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit those needs. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be helpful for brief check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work on skills between sessions.
