About Lori

Lori Mcdunn is a licensed professional counselor with a decade of clinical experience who integrates trauma-informed care with practical strategies for daily life.

Background and approach

She holds the LPC-MHSP credential and draws on a range of evidence-based methods to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and ADHD-related difficulties. Her background emphasizes supporting people through emotional wounds, including trauma and sexual assault survivorship, while also addressing issues like self-esteem, sleep and eating problems, and career or life transitions.

Her approach is strengths-oriented and client-focused, aiming to foster greater emotional balance and more satisfying relationships. Lori combines structured skills work with empathic listening to build coping skills and clarify values, helping clients move from cycles of guilt and shame toward practical change.

Available to people in Tennessee and international clients, she offers multiple session formats to accommodate different schedules and communication preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Lori regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support online clients. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility, helping people take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. CBT emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, or sleep disruption.

Finding the right blend of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful, adjusting strategies over time to match progress and changing needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and connect from different locations while working with licensed professionals who tailor their methods to the client's situation.
