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, grief, trauma and many related life issues.
Lori frames the work around the client's own strengths and story. She treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on practical steps that fit daily routines. Conversations are direct and geared toward clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better coping when life changes.
Her approach draws on therapies that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and build healthier connections. Sessions often include ways to handle anger, sleeping problems, intimacy-related worries, and career stress. Lori also supports people dealing with illness, caregiver strain, blended family dynamics, and commitment or communication problems.
She uses tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used in simple, everyday language and practical exercises someone can try between sessions.
Lori’s background includes many years supporting adults through major life transitions, postpartum adjustment, and coping after loss. She encourages steady effort over time and works with people who want to make clear, realistic changes. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take small, values-driven steps. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression, sleeping problems, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships, helping people understand how early connections influence current relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will work together with the client to try methods that fit their goals and daily life. That collaborative process means adjusting techniques as needed rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current online session types before booking. Many people choose remote therapy to fit sessions into busy schedules, to have shorter check-ins during work breaks, or to avoid travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice mindfulness exercises between meetings and to apply new skills straight away in everyday settings.
