About Lori
Lori Ranfeld is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, and parenting challenges. Lori also supports those facing depression, grief, trauma, and issues such as addiction and ADHD.
She keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change. Lori listens to what matters most to each person and works with them to set small, usable goals.
Her background includes many years of clinical work across common life struggles. That experience informs how she responds to blended family issues, communication problems, and grief after loss. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care concerns and sexual assault and abuse recovery.
In a session she will help you identify patterns that make daily life harder. Then she will suggest steps you can try between meetings. Those steps are simple and meant to fit into a busy schedule.
Clients come for help with relationships, parenting, career stress, and coping with big changes. Lori takes a practical approach so people can test new habits and notice what helps. To begin she asks a few questions about goals and history, then they plan the next step together.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based techniques often focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach works on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active, then testing small behavior changes to reduce their impact. This approach helps with worry, low mood, and everyday coping.Another useful method focuses on communication and problem-solving in relationships. It teaches simple ways to speak clearly, set boundaries, and manage conflict so daily family life feels more manageable. This approach is relevant for parenting challenges and blended family issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them based on what helps.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people use online options to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments.
