That makes it easier to build momentum toward meaningful change.

She also addresses sex addiction, sexuality concerns, and social anxiety and phobia when those issues affect daily life.

Her approach centers on empowerment and acceptance to help clients decide what change looks like. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical coping strategies, and gaining insight into patterns that keep people stuck. Lori will work with clients to design a plan that fits their situation.

She is licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Nevada and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, and she practices from Idaho.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Many people with addictions, trauma, or grief benefit from approaches that focus on skills and insight. One common technique helps people learn concrete coping skills to manage strong emotions and cravings, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to use during difficult moments. Another approach focuses on examining life patterns and meanings to reduce shame and build self-forgiveness, helping people reframe their story and move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each client to identify which techniques match their goals and preferences. Together they set goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what proves helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when in-person visits are not possible.
