01About Lori
Lori Mello greets people with a straightforward, calm approach. She focuses on helping individuals who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or major life changes. Lori speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or anyone needing support.
Lori has worked in the mental health field for 21 years. She spent time providing individual and group counseling and doing administrative work across social service programs.
Background and approach
She has been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan for many years and brings that practical experience to sessions. Her in-session style is warm and interactive. She avoids labeling and seeks to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Lori combines several approaches to match each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. In therapy she uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help calm the body and bring attention back to the present. Lori works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating issues, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and sexual orientation related worries. She also helps with communication problems, isolation or loneliness, life purpose questions, and social anxiety.
Sessions are offered from Michigan and conducted in English.

04Online support
Practical approaches that work online
Lori commonly uses client-centered therapy to start sessions by listening deeply and reflecting what matters most to the person. This helps set goals that feel relevant and realistic for daily life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT tools can help with anxiety, low mood, social worry, and stress by teaching concrete skills people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and more flexible ways to touch base between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and family routines.
