Best therapist I had out of the 6 I have seen since I was a teenager. First one to ever actually listen to my concerns and work with me to come up with plans on improving my view on life and seeing the world from a new perspective. I'm grateful to have connected with her.

More about Lori
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Wisconsin with over 10 years of experience working with dual diagnosis clients (AODA and Mental Health Disorders). I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and anger management. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and/or emotional abuse.
I am a strength-based counselor who can help you identify your personal positive qualities to focus on building a life worth living. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity. I embody an approach that emphasizes compassion and self-care, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines CBT/DBT, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lori is an attentive listener who shares many types of strategies. I have found sessions with her to be most beneficial.
Lori is a great support to the therapy and self-actualization process. She is kind, patient, and professional with sensitive topics and information. I cannot say enough kind words! If you're looking for someone to listen, talk through thought processes, and provide paper resources, she's your therapist!
Very nice and continues to check in and send worksheets
Lori's enthusiasm for life, goodness, and authenticity is amazing. It shines on her face! And it's obvious that she wishes for her clients to catch that enthusiasm and live full lives, with contentedness, authenticity, and radical acceptance of what is.
Lori is a great listener. She also has amazing suggestions for coping mechanisms and skills.

Lori is patient and kind, she is very understanding and creative in her approach! Therapy with her was like chatting with an old friend. She made me feel comfortable right from the start and she helped me realize that I am strong enough to face whatever life throws my way!

I have had only 2 sessions with Lori, but I am comfortable talking to her. She has given me some important insights and understanding. She’s also given me tools to use for my depression.

She's such a patient and wonderful counselor. She helps me process situations and gives me the support I need in sessions. Thank you Lori!
Lori is great. She actually reads through what I write and plans therapy based on the responses. That’s important to me.

Lori is the best! She is present, accepting, encouraging, goal & process oriented! I feel I can trust & be open with her, revealing a lot to myself as we worked together. She definitely makes you feel comfortable & asks those questions that help you peel back another layer. She is so kind. If my insurance covered this specific company, I would keep working with Lori, hands down!
Lori is very understanding and very good at distracting me when I get upset. At least two or three times a week she messages me worksheets videos and other things to look into
I'm new to this and Lori makes me feel like it's something I want to continue
She's so nice and really remembers or tries to all the details I tell her. Even if she has to write them down to remember I do appreciate it
Lori is a fantastic counselor and I genuinely enjoy talking with her. I really trust her knowledge and expertise on a variety of topics.
Very good listener, also knows exactly what can help you and her suggestions are on point. She is not too pushy and is always respectful. Answers very quickly and also checks up on how you are doing.
Caring, compassionate and insightful. Lori provides guidance and on point tools to aide in self care and is expansive in many options of walking through a mental health crisis. I would strongly recommend her to anyone I knew who would be struggling. She is attentive and engaged in your growth and aids in your internal prosessing.
Lori is an amazing listener, provides great ideas, and has a great calming warmth and acceptance about her. Highly recommend!
Lori Locke has a great attitude and is overall really positive and she comes up with strategies to really share that positivity. She is a wonderful guide and helped me learn and acknowledge many things about myself. Overall the sessions I shared with her really helped me and I would highly recommend her.
So far I am very happy with the services
Lori is amazing . She is kind, caring, and very knowledgeable. She looks for many different ways to help me feel better and be my best self. She is also very involved and quick to respond. She is very easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable while working through all my therapy goals .
In the few weeks I’ve been working with Lori, she has helped me move toward more self care and better treatment of others. Before therapy, I was experiencing a lot of dark thoughts, experiencing a lot of rage, becoming depressed, and struggling to regulate my emotions. I was thinking about hurting myself, burying myself in work, isolating from friends and family, and yelling at my kids all the time. Our weekly sessions coupled with tiny bits of daily intentions have made tremendous improvements in how I see myself and others.
She is very kind and always looking for ways to help you. Explores different ways to help you better the situation.
