More about Lori

  • 18 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC, LPC

I am licensed in Georgia, Idaho and Nevada with 18 years of professional work experience. I also have a Master Addiction Counselor license. I help clients cope with addictions, trauma, abuse, cope with grief and loss, as well as anger management. I also have experience working with life changes and transitions. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Many people seek therapy when they realize they are no longer happy. I help bring change through empowerment and acceptance, which enables one to make a change in their life. My primary goal is to create a private place for the client to share anything and everything and not feel judgement or shame. It is imperative to focus on client’s strengths and offer direction and hope to know the client’s personal journey is possible with insight and integrity.

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.
