About Lani

Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with 17 years of experience. She offers online counseling and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family matters, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting, self-esteem, and ADHD.

She uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. Lani draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements, and attachment-focused ideas. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to change now.

Her style asks for active involvement. Clients are encouraged to complete practice work between sessions so progress continues outside of appointment time. She reviews materials ahead of sessions and expects clients to bring finished reflections rather than last-minute notes.

Lani pays attention to how past relationships and life events shape current struggles. Conversations often connect present patterns to earlier experiences to reveal recurring ways of thinking and relating. This can help when anger, avoidance, or attachment concerns keep repeating.

She sets collaborative goals with clients and adjusts methods based on what is helpful. Sessions emphasize skill-building, clearer communication, and practical steps to manage strong emotions and improve daily routines. Lani aims for straightforward work that helps people better manage frustration and carry changes into everyday life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anger that leaves people feeling out of control or disconnected from what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns like automatic angry reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be useful when anger is tied to trust, abandonment, or closeness issues.

Choosing the best approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time. That means approaches can be mixed and changed based on what helps most for anger, stress, or related concerns.

Her profile indicates she practices via online telehealth, so confirm specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use skill practice from their usual surroundings and bring real-life situations into sessions for immediate discussion.
