About Lori
Lori Fitch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience working across outpatient and school settings. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and the everyday upheavals that come with life transitions. Lori also supports people facing addiction, sleep problems, parenting challenges, grief, and questions about sexual identity.
Her background includes long-term work with trauma survivors and families affected by large-scale events. That experience shaped her focus on practical coping skills and crisis response in schools. She has developed programs for student mental health and for parents while working as a high school counselor.
In sessions Lori uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused techniques. She brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they match a person’s goals. The emphasis is on clear, active dialogue and strategies people can try between meetings.
Clients can expect help sorting priorities, making decisions, and managing strong feelings like anger, shame, or fear. Lori also addresses attachment issues, abandonment and adoption concerns, blended family strain, codependency, and intimacy-related challenges. She works with matters related to BDSM and alternative sex culture without judgment.
Lori notes experience with bipolar disorder, ADHD, and disruptive mood issues, and she offers coaching-style support for career or life-change planning. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients; confirm current session formats before booking.
Therapeutic approaches you may see in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s own goals and values. It involves open-ended conversation and reflection to help a person clarify problems and next steps. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship questions, and decisions about work or school. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It teaches practical skills for coping with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and unhelpful patterns. Sessions often include exercises to try between meetings so progress is visible over time. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions, and then use that awareness to change how they respond in relationships. It can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and recurrent conflict. Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That might mean combining techniques or shifting focus as needs change. Confirm current session formats before booking, as this profile does not specify which exact online options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so meetings can happen from elsewhere. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing, length, and how to use tools like mindfulness or CBT exercises between sessions.Areas of expertise
