Background and approach
Her background includes long clinical practice in Indiana and many years guiding people through life transitions and complicated feelings.

Lori supports women navigating gender-related concerns and young adults adjusting to new roles and responsibilities. Lori aims to build tools clients can use between sessions. She helps people create clearer boundaries, improve communication, and manage anxiety so parenting and other responsibilities feel more manageable.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Lori uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she relies on helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then practice small, manageable shifts to reduce anxiety and stress. Another approach centers on improving attachment and communication - it helps clients notice how past relationships affect current reactions and then build clearer, safer ways to connect with others.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lori collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques based on what the client finds useful, so therapy stays relevant and focused on real-world change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around parenting, work, and other commitments.
