More about Lori

- LCSW
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. My work centers on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and the profound shifts that come with major life changes. I'm particularly skilled at addressing self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, and the emotional weight of caregiving. With over 20 years working with end of life issues, I have provided individual, family and group counseling for patients and families at some of the most challenging times dealing with chronic illness, caregiver role strain, grief and loss
I work with clients on a wide range of meaningful topics: building self-love and stronger communication, overcoming isolation and loneliness, discovering life purpose, and cultivating forgiveness. I also support those working through control issues, codependency patterns, women's issues, and the unique struggles of cancer and addiction recovery.
My approach is grounded in compassion and genuine understanding. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your values and perspective, and creating space for authentic healing. Whether you're processing loss, rebuilding your sense of self, or seeking clarity during uncertain times, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and respect.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
