Lori also spent time working with couples and family therapy and has developed a niche for clients in sex therapy sessions, to help with sexual difficulties, including fetishes/kink and the LGBTQ+ community.

Lori also has completed certification in grief counseling. Lori is here to help you through your grieving process. Lori is aware that people grieve many things, such as the loss of a loved one or pet, job, or relationship.

In her practice, she draws from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
