01About Lori
Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting demands, or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully so clients can name what matters and start taking small steps forward. Lori affirms each person's strengths and works alongside them as they try new ways to cope and heal.
Her approach combines practical strategies with attention to how relationships and attachments shape everyday life.
Background and approach
Lori uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot unhelpful thoughts and create different patterns. She brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to encourage values-based action even when emotions are hard. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable tools.
Lori helps people with sleep or anger problems, substance concerns, work stress, grief, or shifts after major events. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, intimacy struggles, and challenges tied to caregiving or medical illness. With fifteen years of experience in Michigan, Lori draws on client-centered methods to keep the room calm and nonjudgmental.
Client-Centered Therapy here means she follows each person's lead and tailors pacing to what they can manage. That makes it easier to try behavioral changes without feeling pressured. Her work also attends to attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and blended family stress.
Lori supports people coping with chronic pain, body image, or life transitions by mixing practical skills and compassion-focused conversations.

04Online support
How Lori’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick small actions that match what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing new options to reduce distress and improve sleep, mood, or daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation driven by the client, giving space to speak and be heard while the therapist follows the client's pace.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Lori will help clients clarify goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans as progress or new needs emerge. Together they decide which methods fit the person's priorities and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging can be used for on-the-go support, brief reflection, or between-session touchpoints. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work, home, or while traveling and to fit therapy into a busy life.
