More about Lori

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • Psychologist

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work to enhance well-being across multiple areas of life. By creating a respectful, non- judgmental healing environment, I help people connect with who they truly are today, and how they want to be in the future. With these goals in mind, sessions can focus on creating new habits, exploring new perspectives, and using new tools to increase a sense of joy and meaning in life. By the end, I aim to leave people with a personalized road map for finding peace while living their life to the fullest.

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.
