About Lori

Lori Gabrielsen is an LPC who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy within a practical, collaborative framework to help people address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and related life changes.

Background and approach

She draws on 24 years of professional experience in Georgia to guide clients through challenges such as low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and sleep difficulties. Her approach emphasizes clear tools and strategies alongside attention to emotions and values.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Lori works with clients to set achievable goals and build coping skills that support daily functioning and longer-term growth.

The process is presented as a partnership, with attention to each person’s pace and preferences as they take steps toward greater well-being and confidence.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing emotions and thoughts without judgment while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action, which can be helpful for grief, low motivation, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns influence current relationships and can support healing in intimacy-related concerns and relational trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lori approaches this collaboratively. She will work with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the plan remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or when travel is difficult. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, focused care and tools that translate into everyday life while giving clients options for the communication style that feels most comfortable.
