More about Lori
- 37 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have been a licensed clinical social worker for 35 years. I have experience providing individual , group, and family counseling to teens, adults and families. I have background in the areas of anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger management and foster care and adoption. I truly enjoy working with people and my goal is to assist my clients in managing a variety of concerns . It is important to me to establish a safe, non-judgmental environment, and to show respect to all my clients.
I don't have one approach I utilize, as I feel everyone is an individual and it is important to develop a plan once I have your input and together we decide on the direction your counseling will take. I recognize that for some, deciding to attend counseling can be a challenge. I am here to provide the support, flexibility and trust you need to succeed.
Once you choose to begin counseling to address the concerns you have, I will be there to assist and support you in the process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

The best thing that has ever happened to me for my mental health has been working with Lori!
Lori not only listens to me, but hears me. She acknowledges how I'm feeling and works with me on the best ways to approach challenges and obstacles in my life. She makes me feel seen and heard and is extremely kind, professional, and open minded. I don't feel the need to hold anything back and feel comfortable speaking to her about all kinds of issues. Definitely recommend Lori.

Lori has been very patient and extremely supportive and helpful in alot of ways. She makes you feel better and good about yourself and helps you with different things to handle situations. I love her.
Lori is a great listener and very responsive to my concerns. She is also thoughtful and helpful.
Lori was in tune with my needs and truly listened to me from my first session with her. I felt like she was an old friend who understood my issues and concerns. She is a compassionate person who is there to make suggestions and tell me her thoughts and opinions honestly. That's all very important to me.
Lori makes me feel seen. She makes me feel heard. That means everything to me right now. (I will submit a more comprehensive , well thought-out review at a later date. )
Lori is so easy to talk to. After a session, I always feel calmer and a sense of clarity with what is going on.
Lori is very friendly and understands and listens. She gives good advice and explains situations positively and also has different perspective on my situation. I feel happy so far.
Lori listened. She had read my brief summary and understood that I’m dealing with physical as well as emotional issues. She was gentle but firm in her approach which I appreciate. I do recommend Lori. I think she will help me resolve some acute issues as well as chronic ones.
She’s amazing! I’ve gone through so many therapists in the past couple of years and she makes me feel so much better and have hope to improve my mental health
