About Lori
Lori Matheson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family struggles, trauma and grief. Lori focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes and rebuild routines when things feel out of control.
She uses straightforward conversations to help people sort what matters most. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying goals, and trying small changes that fit everyday life. Lori draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help manage symptoms and build healthier habits.
Attachment-based ideas guide work around relationships, intimacy, and patterns that repeat across friendships and partnerships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) methods are used when people want to learn how to live with difficult thoughts while still moving toward valued goals.
Her style centers on treating clients as the expert on their own lives. Lori encourages clients to notice what works and to experiment with new ways of responding to stress, anger, or low mood. She also brings experience addressing caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image concerns, and major life transitions.
People often come for help with work stress, adjusting after a move or breakup, parenting strain, or trouble sleeping. Lori offers practical steps and coaching-style guidance alongside talk therapy to help people make steady progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to change thinking and behavior patterns, with clear strategies for sleep, mood, and stress. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lori treats clients as partners in deciding what to try. She will help weigh options based on your goals, current needs, and what feels doable in daily life, then adapt techniques as you go.
