Working with Lori has been an eyeopening and extremely beneficial experience. I've taken a more critical eye to some of my behaviours and been more forgiving of others all the while learning and growing. Lori sets tasks which really make me think and have helped me really discover who I am. Thank you Lori!
More about Lori

Hello, my name is Lori and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I obtained my bachelor degree in Psychology from Florida International University in 1999 and my master's degree in Social Work from Barry University in 2004. I have over 16 years of experience working with adolescents and adults through all sorts of issues including but not limited to Bipolar Disorder, familial stressors, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, low-self esteem, abuse, LGBTQ and Schizophrenia. My experience stems from a variety of settings including private practice, individual therapy, group therapy, residential and outpatient programs, home visits and non-profit agencies.
I primarily utilize cognitive-behavioral and psycho-education therapy in order to help my clients achieve their goals. However, every client is different and so are their needs. I believe in focusing on client's strengths, treating everyone with respect and without bias. This is a judge-free zone! It takes a strong person to reach out for help and I look forward to hearing from you and working with you at your pace. Therapy is work and at times will not be easy, but the reward is plenty!

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.
