About Lori
Lori Mattix is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 37 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and related areas such as parenting and grief. Lori works with adults and young adults and addresses adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism spectrum matters, and multicultural challenges.
Lori uses a person-centered approach and draws on solution-focused methods to shape sessions. She begins by listening to what matters most to the client and then helps set practical goals. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday problems like managing worry, coping with life changes, and improving family relationships.
Her practice includes work on self-esteem, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, somatization, and social anxiety and phobia. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, blended family stress, and intellectual disability considerations. Lori records experience in both individual and group formats and has background related to foster care and adoption.
In sessions she emphasizes developing a plan collaboratively rather than following a single rigid method. Clients can expect discussion, practical problem solving, and steps to try between meetings. Lori aims to be respectful and nonjudgmental while helping people clarify goals and next steps.
To begin, clients choose an online therapy option, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps the person clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for matters like self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps toward concrete goals. Sessions look for what already works and build on it with short-term strategies. This method often helps with stress, anxiety, behavior changes, and coping with life transitions. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time so the work stays focused and practical. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. They also let people continue work with a licensed professional from different locations within the same region, but be sure to verify which formats are offered when you schedule.Sheet 3
