Working with Lori has been an eyeopening and extremely beneficial experience. I've taken a more critical eye to some of my behaviours and been more forgiving of others all the while learning and growing. Lori sets tasks which really make me think and have helped me really discover who I am. Thank you Lori!
More about Lori

Hello, my name is Lori and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I obtained my bachelor degree in Psychology from Florida International University in 1999 and my master's degree in Social Work from Barry University in 2004. I have over 16 years of experience working with adolescents and adults through all sorts of issues including but not limited to Bipolar Disorder, familial stressors, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, low-self esteem, abuse, LGBTQ and Schizophrenia. My experience stems from a variety of settings including private practice, individual therapy, group therapy, residential and outpatient programs, home visits and non-profit agencies.
I primarily utilize cognitive-behavioral and psycho-education therapy in order to help my clients achieve their goals. However, every client is different and so are their needs. I believe in focusing on client's strengths, treating everyone with respect and without bias. This is a judge-free zone! It takes a strong person to reach out for help and I look forward to hearing from you and working with you at your pace. Therapy is work and at times will not be easy, but the reward is plenty!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
