About Lori
Lori Wenglikowski is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with ten years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, bipolar disorder, substance use concerns, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and career or self-esteem struggles.
She focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. Lori uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful thinking, manage intense emotions, and process painful memories. Sessions typically involve learning concrete strategies, practicing new responses, and tracking what helps in day-to-day life.
Lori pays attention to how past events shape current reactions. She draws on trauma-informed work and methods aimed at reducing distress from upsetting memories. This can include step-by-step processing and building safety before tackling difficult material.
She also brings skills from cognitive behavioral work to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior methods are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for strong feelings like anger or panic.
People who want straightforward, action-focused therapy tend to fit well with her style. Lori supports LGBTQ+ clients and adults looking for practical tools to cope with life changes, career stress, or persistent mood problems. To begin, the site matching tool and a first session help shape goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Many of Lori's tools come from cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep stress and mood problems going. CBT sessions teach practical exercises to change thinking habits and activity levels, often with homework-like practice between meetings.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage strong emotions. DBT techniques include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that reduce reactivity and improve communication when anger or overwhelm arise.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Lori will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That plan can change as progress is tracked and new needs show up.
