About Lori
Lori Fitch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience. She brings long-term experience in outpatient settings and school counseling to help people facing major life stressors. Lori communicates directly and with warmth, offering clear guidance and practical steps during sessions.
Her background includes substantial work with trauma survivors and with people affected by crisis events. Lori has developed programs for students and parents in high school settings and has supported people from early childhood through older adulthood over her career. She uses what she has learned from many years in outpatient therapy to shape each session to the person in front of her.
In session she focuses on listening, understanding, and offering direction. Lori uses client-centered methods and active collaboration so clients have a role in planning goals and next steps. She combines that with cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools to address symptoms such as anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and stress.
Lori also applies emotionally-focused ideas when people bring relationship or intimacy struggles, and motivational interviewing when people want help making changes like addressing addictive behaviors or improving self-care. She aims to be open-minded and nonjudgmental, and she often uses a sense of humor when it fits.
People who reach out can expect straightforward, practical work on issues such as parenting strain, identity questions, grief, career stress, ADHD, and coping after loss or upheaval. Lori helps people map clear steps and build skills that fit their daily lives.
How Lori’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered work places the person’s goals at the center of each session. Lori listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose steps that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skill building to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand emotional responses in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting and communicating.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Lori will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. The plan can change as work progresses, so people help shape which tools to keep using and which to adjust.

Online work can make attending sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use mindfulness or homework tools between meetings. Many people find remote sessions help maintain momentum while juggling school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
