Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded, with clear steps to try between meetings. Her style is warm and straightforward. Lori listens for what matters most, then works with each person to develop useful skills and small, realistic goals.
She explains tools plainly so they are easy to use in daily life. Over three decades of practice have shaped a calm approach to hard emotions. Lori values each person’s strengths and encourages rebuilding a sense of purpose and connection.
Progress is viewed as steady, not sudden, and small changes are celebrated. Lori practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
CBT and practical support through online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It teaches practical skills for anxiety, panic attacks, social fears, and low mood so people can feel more in control day to day.Lori pairs CBT with a steady, conversational style. She helps people set small goals, try new coping steps, and adjust based on what works. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client figure out the best fit together based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone calls work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can be good for shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, or fit into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match a person’s schedule and daily life.
