About Lori
Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, ADHD, and life transitions. She writes in a direct, encouraging way and emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own stories. Lori focuses on building on each person’s existing strengths and on practical steps toward feeling better.
She believes the first step takes courage and aims to provide steady support as people try out new ways of coping. Lori draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered care to help with day-to-day challenges. Sessions tend to be focused on concrete skills, clear goals, and gentle reflection.
With 15 years of experience, Lori has worked with people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, and career stress. She also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and attachment-related concerns. Her work often includes short-term coaching and practical problem solving alongside psychotherapy.
Lori’s style is collaborative and strengths-based. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps shape goals that fit real life. Progress often involves small, steady changes rather than dramatic shifts.
People who want a practical, supportive counselor who honors their values and choices may find her approach helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Lori uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action that aligns with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in early and often to adjust techniques and pace so therapy stays relevant and manageable.
Confirm available session options before booking so you know how Lori currently meets with clients. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy routine, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also reduce travel time and help people maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals like Lori aim to adapt session length and focus to suit each person’s needs.
