Greetings! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who has worked 17 years in the area of mental health. I believe a strong foundation of trust and communication is necessary between a client and counselor for progress to be made. I use several modalities, depending on the issues and background of each individual. I am a good listener, caring and sensitive. I will also provide a balanced plan for working with your issues you want to cover. I consider it a privilege to be able to work with you !

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lori is wonderful ❤️
Lori really listens and actually asked about history and family life growing up. I had a therapist on better help but had to change I'm glad I found Lori.
I have been working with Lori for just under two years and she has helped me completely turn my life around. She's even gone so far as to learn about different cultures, praxeologies and methodologies to help assist me with taking control of my life. Thank you so much!
Lori is wonderful. She cares very much and is a great listener. She has offered helpful "homework" that has really helped me move forward.
She’s good. Empathetic, supportive. Has resources and show her knowledge and expertise.
She's great
In my time with Lori, I have felt supported in all that I am going through. I am able to ask for advice and express my emotions without judgment. I know Lori has my best interest in mind and she is diligent about serving my needs as I work to better myself and my perception of the world around me.
Great start and very positive outcome so far!
She understands and uses compassion during lessons
