About Lani
Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting struggles. She works with people dealing with grief, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life transitions.
Sessions are held online and are aimed at practical change and clearer understanding of patterns that cause pain. Lani uses an attachment-based perspective to understand how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviors.
Background and approach
She blends that with cognitive-behavioral techniques and client-centered approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas can be added when emotion regulation or values-based action are priorities. Her style is warm and direct.
She asks people to be active between sessions and to complete brief homework so progress can be tracked. Expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge, and steps you can try between meetings. Lani trained in mental health counseling and has practiced for 17 years.
She shifted to exclusively online practice at the start of the COVID pandemic and continues to offer care remotely to people in Utah and beyond. She invites people who want to better understand their patterns and make steady changes to reach out. Initial steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current feelings and trust. Online sessions let clients talk about those patterns and try new ways of relating in conversation with the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework that track progress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, emphasizes noticing difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values and goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and daily life. This collaborative planning helps set small, practical steps and homework that suit the person’s schedule and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be lower bandwidth and easier on the eyes, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates or short reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or other commitments while keeping focus on making steady change.
