About Lori
Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, and life transitions. She works with clients dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and burnout. Lori aims to make the first step toward change feel doable and respectful of each person's strengths.
She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people clarify goals and notice what gets in the way of those goals. Sessions emphasize skills you can try between meetings, such as short mindfulness exercises and small behavioral steps. Lori encourages people to draw on their own values and strengths as part of the work.
Her background spans 15 years of clinical experience in Michigan. That experience includes addressing trauma and abuse, sleep and anger difficulties, body image and self-esteem concerns, and challenges tied to caregiving and chronic illness. She also brings experience helping people cope with abandonment, attachment concerns, and blended family stress.
Lori integrates approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered listening. She helps people figure out which mix of methods fits their situation and temperament. The goal is practical change that lines up with what matters most to each person.
People can expect a warm, down-to-earth style that focuses on clear steps. Lori supports clients who want coaching-style help as well as traditional therapy work. Sessions are aimed at building workable strategies for daily life.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values, even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying concrete behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and aims to shift ways of connecting that cause pain or distance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they adjust the mix of techniques so the work feels useful and doable rather than overwhelming.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions where conversation and face cues matter. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people keep momentum between sessions and fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to get regular help without rearranging life around appointments.
