Lori has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting strain, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports people facing chronic illness, family of origin issues, and problems around trust or commitment. Conversations often include building emotion regulation skills and clearer communication strategies.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Lori is licensed in Missouri as an LCSW and conducts work in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward a valued life. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes because it focuses on values and flexible action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity, which many people find useful for stress, sleep problems, and mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they try methods and adjust them so therapy feels useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in between sessions, and text messaging supports short updates or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
