She also provides faith-informed encouragement for clients who want Biblical perspective alongside psychological work. That element is offered when it matches a client’s goals and preferences.

The goal is to help people gain skills, feel clearer about next steps, and move forward with greater confidence.

How Lori’s approaches translate to online work

Many of the techniques Lori uses adapt well to a remote format. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often turns into short exercises and homework between sessions. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify values and commit to small steps, a process that works through conversation and guided actions. Emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas help people name and track feelings and relationship patterns during sessions. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed. If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit better into busy days. It can also let sessions be shorter check-ins when a full hour is not practical, and it avoids travel time so people can use appointment slots around work, childcare, or other obligations.
