More about me

Licensing: LCMFT Years in Practice: 16 State: Maryland

If you are seeking therapy, you have already been working so hard! It's time to try something different. I practice a therapy focusing on mindful awareness and living in the present; fully and peacefully experiencing life. As a result, clients experience symptom reduction and improvement in functioning. This therapy emphasizes values, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, living in the present moment, and accessing a transcendent sense of self. This practice can often help people who have been unsuccessful with therapy in the past, have had a return of symptoms after repeated therapy, or are reluctant to engage in the therapeutic process.

Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and The Gottman Method, I am skilled at a variety of strategies to find a customized approach to meet your individual or relationship needs.

Many people find relief from anger, anxiety, depression, substance or food cravings, and improved communication and connection in their relationships through this process. They also develop an improved relationship with themselves and an increased sense of peace and well-being.

My aim is to provide you strategic tools that will allow you to quickly and permanently assist you in changing how you experience your circumstances and stressors, as well as improve your interactions with others.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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. Ranging from $60 to $90 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.

Overall

Lori is amazing at helping me readjust my narratives and helps me to see the bigger picture.

Overall

Lori is an amazing therapist. She is so good at listening when you need and helping you to dig deeper into your own narratives and thought patterns and helping you rearrange them to more accurately describe your situation, which in turn brings better understanding and less stress. She is a caring and trustworthy therapist who really does go above and beyond for her clients.

Lori is insightful and clear when explaining personality behaviours, makes you think and helps you to see why things happen and what you have to consider to control those thought patterns.
