About Lani
Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, addiction, and relationship strain. She practices online from Utah and has 17 years of experience supporting people through big life changes and everyday struggles. Her style is warm and approachable.
Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. She encourages active participation, self-reflection, and follow-through between appointments. Lani blends several evidence-informed methods rather than using a single school of thought.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on attachment-based perspectives to look at how early and current relationships shape coping and intimacy. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take committed action.
Dialectical behavior ideas may appear when learning emotion regulation and interpersonal skills is useful. Lani adapts techniques to match each person’s goals and situation. Her online practice emphasizes collaboration.
Together she and a client set clear goals and practical steps. She asks clients to do brief homework between sessions so progress continues outside the meeting time. Prioritizing straightforward communication, Lani focuses on what someone can do now to feel steadier and more capable.
She welcomes questions and works with each person to create a plan that fits their life and responsibilities.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings show up. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust, closeness, and conflict. It helps people notice repeating patterns and try new ways of relating that improve intimacy and connection.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then suggest strategies to try. Progress is reviewed regularly and methods are adjusted so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online formats make regular work easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when a written reflection feels most helpful. These options offer flexibility so therapy can continue from different locations and on varied schedules.
