About Lori
Lori Farrens is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience. She is licensed in Idaho, Nevada, and Georgia and works with people who struggle with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and major life changes.
She focuses on practical conversations that help people get clearer about the next steps. Sessions look at how anger shows up day to day - at home, at work, or after loss - and what patterns keep it cycling. Lori also brings experience with first responder stress, post-traumatic stress, and issues around sexuality and sex addiction.
Her way of working aims to reduce shame and blame. She guides clients to notice strengths, make small changes, and try new responses when strong feelings arise. That might mean learning techniques to calm intense moments or talking through past events that still trigger anger.
Lori uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical problem-solving. She discusses options with each person and builds a plan that fits their goals. Sessions also address guilt, forgiveness, isolation, and end-of-life or hospice concerns when those topics are part of the problem.
People who come to her can expect direct conversation and clear steps to practice between sessions. She asks about what works and what does not, then adjusts the approach as things change. To begin, people choose the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches that inform online sessions
Evidence-based techniques often used for anger include cognitive-behavioral approaches, which help people notice the thoughts and beliefs that feed anger and learn concrete skills to shift reactions. This can help with workplace frustration, snapping at loved ones, or patterns that repeat after trauma.Exposure-based and trauma-focused methods can help when anger is tied to past abuse or post-traumatic stress. These approaches guide a person through careful, supported processing of difficult memories so triggers become less overwhelming over time.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means initial sessions may focus on coping skills, then move to deeper work if that fits the client's needs.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent during life changes. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to continue progress from wherever you are and to practice new responses between meetings.
