Lori Mello, LPC

Lori Mello is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, eating concerns, anger, career questions, and other life changes. Lori also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and LGBT issues.

Her approach is straightforward and interactive. She combines Client-Centered techniques with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused work. Sessions are practical and focused on clear steps people can try between meetings.

Lori has a long background in both direct counseling and program administration. She has provided individual and group counseling in mental health settings and has worked across social service programs. That mix informs how she balances short-term goals with deeper emotional work.

In sessions she aims to listen first and then help people identify patterns that keep anger and frustration cycling. She uses behavioral tools and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and to build alternative responses. She also helps people clarify values and next steps when stress affects work or relationships.

Her practice uses an eclectic mix of techniques so conversations stay practical. People are encouraged to set specific, achievable goals and to try small experiments between appointments. Lori speaks English and works with adults in Michigan.
