About Lori
Lori Karman is a licensed mental health counselor and professional clinical counselor with 15 years of experience. She practices in Indiana and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Lori emphasizes clear, doable strategies for parents and adults feeling overwhelmed by everyday stressors.
She keeps sessions focused on problem solving and skill building. Lori helps people develop coping skills for anxiety, manage anger, and improve self-esteem. She also supports those adjusting to life changes, navigating grief, or addressing sleep and attention concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions use techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance and commitment perspectives, along with attachment-informed work and emotionally focused ideas. That mix is used to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and shift unhelpful thinking. Conversations aim to land on specific tools a person can practice between sessions.
For clients who want faith included, Lori offers Biblical encouragement alongside therapeutic work. The emphasis remains on concrete steps that fit each person's values and goals. Lori frames progress as steady skill building rather than quick fixes.
Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started begins by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

How Lori’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making steady changes that fit personal values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits for mood, sleep, and attention concerns.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and learn different ways of connecting and setting boundaries.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lori will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone work, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone calls can fit a break at work, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging helps keep momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
