Lori Mattix

Lori Mattix is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 37 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship struggles. Lori aims to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.

She listens first and tailors a plan to each person. Lori draws on client-centered therapy to follow the client’s lead and on solution-focused techniques to create clear, practical steps. This combination is often used for issues like ADHD, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes.

Lori has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care and with those facing attachment or family-of-origin concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and social anxiety. Her background includes many years of individual and group counseling experience.

In sessions she prioritizes respect and flexibility. She aims to help clients set realistic goals, try small changes, and notice progress. Lori also works with issues around multicultural concerns and intellectual disability when they are part of a person’s story.

She invites people to describe their needs and helps shape therapy from there. Lori’s practice centers on practical steps and a steady, supportive presence as clients work toward better ways of coping.

How Lori’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy

Lori uses client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through feelings like anger, anxiety, or grief.

She also uses solution-focused therapy to set small, practical goals and track progress. That method is useful for tackling concrete problems such as managing stress, improving coping skills, or working on relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lori will work with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. The plan can change as needs shift and progress is made.
