LPC, 25 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia and a National Certified Counselor with over 24 years experience in the field. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Master's Degree in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University. I completed my internship in a private practice setting, and since that time, have worked in a variety of treatment settings including inpatient and outpatient treatment settings. I have experience working with conditions including stress, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use disorders, trauma, couples counseling and grief counseling.
I love to provide a warm and safe space for clients to share. In an initial session, I usually briefly explore a client's background, then begin to explore the issues that are currently causing challenges. I want to hear what each person is wanting out of therapy, then we discuss how we can reach those goals together.
I utilize a combination of evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness practices.
I strive to build on a client's strengths to facilitate growth in their lives. I focus on building on a client's current abilities, teaching new skills, and empowering each person to become the best version of themselves.
I work with clients who want to address a multitude of topics including anxiety, depression, women's issues, difficulty in relationships, grief and loss, self-esteem, and stress.

Lori is the best therapist I’ve ever been to. She is understanding, honest, direct and extremely knowledgeable. She truly has such a gift of helping you understand the issue at hand and gives you the tools to work through it. She makes you feel empowered and gives you the tools, skill set, knowledge and confidence to do so. I trust Lori and know she is giving me the best, most honest, and professional advice to help me. I feel so blessed to have found her and look forward to our sessions.

Lori has transformed my relationship with myself and made me feel special for the gifts I bring. I appreciated how her unbiased opinion lessened my self judgement and allowed me to accept parts of myself I was unsure about. Besides that, she is incredibly flexible and communicative about her schedule. It was an absolute pleasure having a therapeutic relationship with Lori.
