She listens closely and helps clients name what feels overwhelming. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at practical change as well as emotional relief.

Background and approach
Narrative Therapy can help reframe painful stories and reduce their hold on daily life. Lorri pays attention to family dynamics, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the strain of caregiving. She works with people who face grief, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy-related stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
She also addresses issues tied to ADHD, impulsivity, and co-occurring mood problems. Sessions focus on clear communication skills, coping tools, and building routines that reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Lorri helps people work through guilt, shame, and problems that come from family of origin or blended family situations.
She encourages practical experiments between sessions to try new ways of reacting. Based in Oklahoma, Lorri conducts sessions in English and offers multiple online formats. Her approach is collaborative: she helps clients set priorities, measure progress, and adjust the plan as needed.
How Lorri Uses Talk-Based Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client so they feel heard and understood. This approach helps people clarify values and decide what changes they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete techniques to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms through practice and skill building. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent by helping them find internal motivation for change and set small goals.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lorri will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time. Together they set short-term targets and review progress so the plan can shift as needs evolve.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone calls can be useful when hands-free or when video is impractical. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
