About Lori

Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, ADHD, relationship and intimacy challenges, and a range of other concerns.

Background and approach

She emphasizes that clients hold important knowledge about their own lives and brings a strengths-oriented, supportive presence to therapy. Lori encourages clients to take the courageous step of seeking change and offers guidance as they work toward greater well-being.

With 15 years of clinical experience, Lori draws on a blend of evidence-based methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her work incorporates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed techniques, client-centered principles, and mindfulness practices.

Lori’s background includes supporting people through parenting and postpartum adjustments, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction-related concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and other life challenges. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps clients explore practical strategies and new perspectives to build resilience and move toward valued goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most and learn practical ways to act in line with those values while letting go of unhelpful struggles, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to build coping strategies for challenges like sleep disruption or anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, offering a path to improve intimacy and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from different methods to create a tailored plan that fits the client's situation and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage care from home. These remote formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, skills coaching, and reflective therapy in ways that can adapt to each person's routine and access needs.
