Lori Matheson

Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. She approaches clients with respect for their lived experience and strengths. Lori aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable and supported.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Conversations move at a practical pace. Lori listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people try small changes that fit their lives.

Her work draws on several practical approaches, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, attachment-based thinking, and mindfulness. Those methods are used to build clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and more flexible coping. Sessions often focus on what feels most urgent for the client that week.

Lori has about 15 years of clinical experience. She draws on that background to offer down-to-earth guidance and coaching when needed. She also brings experience supporting people through grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and caregiving stress.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversations about goals, next steps, and small experiments to try between sessions. Lori works in English and practices in Michigan. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process to arrange a first session.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete exercises to test and reshape unhelpful thinking patterns. It is often used for depression, worry, and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients pick and adapt methods to fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She uses plain language to explain options and checks in regularly to see what is helping.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people share worksheets, practice mindfulness exercises together, and try behavioral experiments between meetings. These practical benefits often help therapy fit into daily life while focusing on clear, achievable goals.
