About Lori
LICSW in Minnesota with 7 years of experience, Lori Cline helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She works directly with clients to identify strengths and practical steps forward. Lori frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on building motivation and confidence.
Her approach centers on listening first. She uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person. She also brings cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Those methods help with low mood, anxiety, and day-to-day coping.
Lori integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Mindfulness practices appear in sessions to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to clarify goals and strengthen the desire to change.
Sessions are practical and oriented toward what a person wants to do differently. Lori emphasizes small, doable steps and skills people can use between visits. She also discusses longer-term goals when that fits a person’s needs.
Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, and workplace difficulties. People who want a collaborative, skills-informed approach to managing stress and life transitions will find her methods straightforward and goal-focused.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what the client values. The therapist prioritizes the client's goals and reflects back concerns so the person guides the work. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about what matters most.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and to build behaviors that improve mood and reduce anxiety. CBT is useful for depression, worry, and everyday coping problems.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills offer concrete techniques for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress. These skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help in high-stress moments and relationship strain.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches to try based on needs, goals, and personal preference. That shared decision helps tailor session focus and homework between meetings.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce the need to travel. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about which session formats and schedules will best fit everyday life.
