About Lani
Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in Utah with 17 years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes among her focus areas.
She practices online and blends methods to fit what people bring to sessions. Lani uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy as tools she draws from depending on needs. Sessions involve talking through current struggles, learning practical skills, and looking at how past relationship experiences affect present problems.
Lani describes an active, collaborative style. She asks people to engage between sessions and complete brief homework so progress can continue outside the appointment. She emphasizes joint work on goals and regular effort rather than a once-a-week check-in alone.
Her background includes an undergraduate psychology degree completed by distance learning and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling earned in 2007 from the University of Phoenix. She began working online during the COVID pandemic and continues to offer services via telehealth.
People who choose her can expect clear, practical conversations about what is happening at home and guidance on steps to manage feelings and relationships. She encourages clients to be intentional about the work and to come prepared to engage with agreed tasks between sessions.
How sessions work
How Lani uses different approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action. It can help when someone feels stuck by anxiety, grief, or life changes and wants a values-based way forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete strategies to change them. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some addiction-related issues.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape how people relate now. It can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and understanding recurring relationship patterns.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Because she practices via telehealth, confirm exactly which remote session formats are offered before booking. Online work can make regular check-ins and ongoing homework integration easier to manage within daily routines.
