About Lori
Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, and life changes. She emphasizes practical support and gentle guidance for those facing depression, ADHD challenges, addiction concerns, grief, or relationship and intimacy issues. Lori speaks English and works with adults in Michigan.
She believes people bring strengths to therapy and that small steps can add up to meaningful change. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in everyday language so clients can use new skills between meetings.
Background and approach
Lori encourages clients to notice what already works for them and to build from there. Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavior strategies, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to help people understand patterns, tolerate difficult emotions, and make values-based choices.
Lori adapts tools to the person's pace and goals rather than following a rigid plan. Over 15 years she has helped people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, career shifts, and changes after loss or divorce. She also brings experience supporting concerns such as abandonment, body image, communication problems, and coping after disasters.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on practical next steps. Lori works with clients to set realistic goals and try small experiments between sessions. Many people find this hands-on style useful when life feels overwhelming.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to notice relationship habits and try new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then commit to actions that match personal values. Online ACT often uses short values exercises and practical homework between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured tools like thought records and behavior experiments, which adapt well to video or text-based check-ins.Lori treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust based on what helps. The aim is to collaborate on clear, manageable steps rather than following a single method from the start.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can make regular work on goals easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
