About Lori

Lori Ranfeld is a Missouri-licensed LPC with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship discord, parenting challenges, and ADHD. She aims to create a welcoming space where clients can speak honestly about difficult thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Lori frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages those who are taking the initial step toward help, recognizing that reaching out often takes courage. Her work spans a broad range of concerns including trauma and grief, addiction, intimacy and sexual issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses family-focused matters such as blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, family of origin patterns, and communication problems. Lori blends practical coaching around life changes, career direction, and financial stress with clinical attention to mood disorders and coping strategies.

Therapy with Lori is geared toward building insight, improving communication, and developing concrete skills to manage symptoms and life transitions. She offers talk-based and skills-oriented support tailored to each person's goals, with options for video, phone, live chat, or text-based sessions to fit different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Care and Flexible Online Options

The practice emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine skill-building with emotional processing. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Brief, practical coaching strategies are used to set goals, improve organization and problem solving, and support life transitions and career concerns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adapting the plan as progress is made and needs evolve. This helps ensure interventions match what the client hopes to accomplish rather than following a one-size-fits-all path.

Online therapy is offered through multiple formats to increase flexibility and access. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when convenient, phone sessions provide an audio-only option, and live chat or text-based messaging support ongoing check-ins and brief interventions between longer sessions. These choices make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules while preserving continuity of care with licensed professionals.
