More about Lori
- 18 years' experience

- 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, 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.
