About Lori

Lori Duhart is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with more than 15 years of experience.

Background and approach

She blends practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy with a client-centered, compassionate style to help people facing issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Her background includes supporting clients through parenting challenges, addiction concerns, career transitions, and other life changes.

Lori emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental approach that honors each person's values and goals. She integrates faith-informed perspectives alongside evidence-based techniques when appropriate, shaping conversations and treatment plans around individual needs.

Her work also addresses intimacy-related difficulties, communication breakdowns, grief from separation or divorce, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and growth topics like self-love and life purpose. Clients seeking practical tools, clearer thinking patterns, and steady emotional support will find Lori’s style warm and interactive.

She encourages courageous first steps toward change and partners with clients to develop skills and insights that support healthier coping, improved relationships, and greater day-to-day resilience.

CBT and Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Many clients benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change reactions and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own goals, creating a supportive space to explore values, relationships, and personal growth. Solution-focused techniques add brief, goal-directed work that helps clarify priorities and build small, achievable steps toward change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist partners collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This means treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what the client wants to accomplish.

Online therapy offers flexibility by making sessions accessible from home or other locations through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support across distances while working with licensed professionals who use evidence-informed methods.
