Greetings! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who has worked 17 years in the area of mental health. I believe a strong foundation of trust and communication is necessary between a client and counselor for progress to be made. I use several modalities, depending on the issues and background of each individual. I am a good listener, caring and sensitive. I will also provide a balanced plan for working with your issues you want to cover. I consider it a privilege to be able to work with you !

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lori really listens and actually asked about history and family life growing up. I had a therapist on better help but had to change I'm glad I found Lori.

I have been working with Lori for just under two years and she has helped me completely turn my life around. She's even gone so far as to learn about different cultures, praxeologies and methodologies to help assist me with taking control of my life. Thank you so much!
