She practices in Idaho and works with people facing intense emotional challenges and transitions. Sessions are conducted in English. Lori holds LCPC and LPC credentials as listed.
Lori centers work on practical steps people can use between sessions. She helps clients look at patterns that keep problems repeating and identifies small, manageable changes.

Her background includes long-term work with first responder concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation. She also addresses post-traumatic stress, sex addiction, sexuality, and social anxiety and phobia. That range gives her experience with both sudden loss and long-term recovery challenges.
Lori describes therapy as a collaborative process. She adapts discussion and plans to each person’s situation. The focus is on identifying strengths, reducing shame, and offering clear direction so clients can make practical changes.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations and an emphasis on coping skills. She asks questions, listens to how problems affect daily life, and works on steps that fit each situation. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Evidence-based methods are used to address trauma, addiction, and strong emotions. One common approach focuses on skills training to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive behaviors; it teaches practical techniques to notice triggers and choose different responses. Another emphasis is on grief and loss work that helps people name what they are feeling, process memories, and find ways to carry on day-to-day responsibilities while they grieve.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time depending on what helps most.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since the original biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a routine, shorten travel time, or offer alternatives when someone needs a quieter or simpler check-in. Therapists commonly work with clients to pick session arrangements that match schedules and daily life demands.
