About Lori

Lori Parrs is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience working across diverse settings.

Background and approach

She has developed specialized expertise in eating disorders, compulsive overeating, exercise and food-related addictions, and body image and self-esteem concerns, while also addressing addictions, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life transitions including ADHD-related challenges.

Her background reflects a focus on helping people navigate complex emotional and behavioral patterns that interfere with daily functioning and wellbeing. Her therapeutic stance is described as warm, accepting, and action-oriented, with an integrative, holistic perspective that draws on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused techniques.

Lori aims to tailor treatment to each person she meets, adapting interventions to where clients are in their readiness for change and emphasizing practical strategies alongside personal insight. She frames change as both difficult and potentially rewarding, and offers collaborative support designed to empower clients to set and reach meaningful goals.

Lori accepts international clients and practices from Florida, working in English and offering multiple online session formats to fit varied needs.

Approach-driven online therapy for practical change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it can be especially useful for clients struggling with avoidance, body image concerns, or the distress that comes with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured strategies and skill building, making it a common choice for anxiety, depression, and many habit-based challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and sensations, which supports emotion regulation and reduces reactivity in stressful situations.

Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then adapt techniques from ACT, CBT, or mindfulness-based practices to match those needs. This flexible, integrative stance aims to combine practical skills with personal values and insight.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate busy schedules and different communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, practice skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals from various locations, supporting continuity of care even when life is changing.
