Best therapist I had out of the 6 I have seen since I was a teenager. First one to ever actually listen to my concerns and work with me to come up with plans on improving my view on life and seeing the world from a new perspective. I'm grateful to have connected with her.

More about Lori

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Wisconsin with over 10 years of experience working with dual diagnosis clients (AODA and Mental Health Disorders). I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and anger management. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and/or emotional abuse.

I am a strength-based counselor who can help you identify your personal positive qualities to focus on building a life worth living. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity. I embody an approach that emphasizes compassion and self-care, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines CBT/DBT, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I look forward to working with you!

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.

In the few weeks I’ve been working with Lori, she has helped me move toward more self care and better treatment of others. Before therapy, I was experiencing a lot of dark thoughts, experiencing a lot of rage, becoming depressed, and struggling to regulate my emotions. I was thinking about hurting myself, burying myself in work, isolating from friends and family, and yelling at my kids all the time. Our weekly sessions coupled with tiny bits of daily intentions have made tremendous improvements in how I see myself and others.
