About Lori

Lori Gabrielsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and major life changes.

She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method. Sessions focus on practical conversations about thoughts, feelings, and everyday behaviors. Lori aims to make sessions direct and understandable so people can try changes between meetings.

In early sessions she listens for priorities and patterns that keep problems stuck. She then works with each person to set small, manageable steps. That might mean practicing new ways of thinking, doing brief experiments between visits, or trying different communication skills for relationships.

Lori also pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions. Attachment-focused ideas are used to notice how people connect, avoid, or react in close relationships. The Gottman Method influences relationship work by teaching specific habits that improve communication and reduce conflict.

She describes the room as a place to speak without judgment and to test changes at a realistic pace. People who want straightforward, skills-based conversation about coping, recovery from loss, or repairing trust may find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions toward what matters. Online ACT work often focuses on simple exercises and weekly steps that fit into daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; online CBT typically includes short skills practice and thought records to try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns of connection and communication; in remote sessions this can mean role-plays, reflection on relationship moments, and practicing new responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods make sense based on their goals, concerns, and preferences. That may mean mixing strategies and checking how they feel in practice.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It also supports doing between-session practice in the context of real life, such as trying a new communication skill at home and discussing how it went at the next meeting.
