About Lori
Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, ADHD, relationships, grief, and anger. Lori frames clients as the experts on their own lives and leans on their existing strengths when working together.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She listens, helps people sort what matters most, and suggests steps they can try between sessions. Lori names common life transitions and struggles up front - divorce, postpartum adjustment, coping with change, and addiction are among the issues she addresses.
In sessions she uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness. That mix lets her draw on different tools depending on the concern and the person. Clients can expect focused conversations about patterns of thought, behavior, and relationships, plus exercises to try in daily life.
Lori emphasizes working collaboratively to set realistic goals. She will help identify small, practical changes that reduce reactivity and improve communication. For someone dealing with snapping at loved ones, resentment at work, or recurring anger, the work often starts with noticing triggers and testing new responses.
She practices in Michigan and conducts work in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Lori's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anger that comes from rigid rules or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and responding to triggers.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will work with each person to weigh what helps most based on their goals, preferences, and daily life. She combines approaches as needed rather than sticking to a single method, and she checks in about what is working as treatment progresses.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Many people find that video or phone sessions let them practice skills in the context of everyday routines and follow up with real-life experiments between appointments.
