    About Lori

    Lori Gabrielsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who uses motivational, person-centered methods to help people change what isn’t working in their lives. She emphasizes respectful listening and steady support while people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or motivation. Lori stresses small, achievable steps that build confidence over time.

    She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken honestly without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on practical ways to move toward those goals. Lori draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action.

    Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how past relationship patterns shape current reactions and intimacy concerns. Client-centered principles keep sessions grounded in the client’s perspective, letting the person lead the pace and priorities. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and to reduce resistance.

    Over more than two decades of work, Lori has supported people through life transitions, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse recovery, and sleep difficulties. She stays focused on practical coping skills and step-by-step plans that fit everyday life. If someone wants help getting unstuck or finding more balance, Lori offers steady guidance and clear next steps.

    To begin clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time, with costs that vary by location and availability.

  2. How Lori’s approaches work in online care

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses gentle questions and reflective listening to build motivation and reduce resistance, which can help with habits, burnout, and low motivation.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions because it emphasizes meaningful action over trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings.

    Client-centered and attachment-informed work keeps sessions centered on the client’s experience and relationship patterns. This helps when intimacy, trust, or past relationship wounds shape current problems. Conversations are guided by the client’s goals and comfort level.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can shift as progress is made, and sessions are adjusted based on what feels most helpful.

    Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer more flexible scheduling. Licensed professionals can tailor their approach to match a person’s daily routine and goals.
