About Lori
Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions. Lori presents straight talk and practical strategies for people managing big changes in their household or personal life.
Her approach starts with the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on identifying what is most important to the client and building on existing strengths. Lori uses clear, concrete steps so people leave a session with something to try that week.
She integrates several evidence-based methods depending on what fits the person and the problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps uncover patterns of thinking that keep stress and anxiety active. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports choosing actions that align with personal values despite uncomfortable feelings. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships affect current connections.
Lori aims to make therapy practical for daily life. Conversations cover parenting choices, navigating blended household dynamics, coping skills for mood shifts, and strategies for sleep and anger. She can also address career stress, intimacy concerns, and recovery-related goals.
People who prefer a direct, collaborative style may find this approach useful. Lori asks questions, offers behavioral tools, and checks in on what is working.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making choices during big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical alternatives. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, which can be relevant when navigating blended household dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan over time based on what the client reports is helpful.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family responsibilities. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when they have limited time, while others choose longer sessions when they need more time to talk. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking through the site’s matching and scheduling process so arrangements match your routine.
