Background and approach
Lori offers faith-based encouragement for those who want Biblical perspective alongside therapy. Her style is direct and solution-focused. Sessions move toward concrete tools and strategies rather than long theory talks.
Lori works with each person to set realistic goals and practice new habits between sessions. Lori draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the person and the problem. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to shift thought patterns, attachment-based ideas to improve relationships, and client-centered listening to make people feel heard.
These methods are blended to fit what the individual needs. People who prefer practical guidance and a clear plan often find her approach useful. Lori aims to make therapy manageable and relevant to daily life.
She supports people as they learn skills, gain confidence, and move forward. Lori practices in Indiana as a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky and as an LMHC in Indiana. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through a range of online formats to fit busy schedules.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that match their values; it often helps with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence each other and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more satisfying ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress is made so the plan fits the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into real life and keep momentum between visits.
