About Lori
Lori Mcdunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider designation (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. She brings ten years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people navigate anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship pain, and trauma. Lori aims to create a steady, respectful space where adults can talk through hard events and learn skills that make daily life easier.
Her approach blends practical skill-building with attention to personal values and meaning.
Background and approach
She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and take steps toward what matters to them. Client-centered methods guide sessions so people feel heard and understood. Lori has worked extensively with survivors of religious trauma and sexual assault, and she offers focused support around grief, intimacy issues, addictions, and caregiver strain.
She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and sleep or eating difficulties. When anger is the main issue, she helps people identify triggers, learn coping strategies, and practice calmer responses. Services are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and vary in cost by location and therapist availability. Lori sees adults and provides individual and couples counseling; she also notes experience with service members and LGBTQ clients. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on availability.

How Lori’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can be helpful for anger, grief, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and practice new responses, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related anger.
Lori treats the choice of approach as a team decision. She listens to a person’s concerns, goals, and daily routine, then suggests methods that fit. Clients and Lori review progress together and adjust tactics as needed so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow shorter, flexible check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions.
These online options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and let people try different formats to see what feels most effective.
