About Lori
Lori Gabrielsen practices with a focus on practical, talk-based approaches that help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia and brings 24 years of experience to her work.

Background and approach
Lori listens for what matters most and helps set realistic goals for change. Her approach draws from methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and values-based action. Attachment-informed perspectives are used to look at how relationships and past experiences shape current patterns.
The Gottman method informs her work around intimacy and relationship concerns. Lori also supports people coping with compassion fatigue and trouble sleeping, using practical strategies to restore energy and routine. She offers ways to respond to life transitions with clearer coping skills and steadier mood management.
People who choose her work with someone who keeps explanations simple and focuses on usable tools. Lori helps clients track small wins and adjust plans as they go. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier feelings, and more workable habits over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where motivation feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting thoughts and behaviors that increase stress and low mood, which can improve sleep, coping, and everyday functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape how someone connects now and can help with intimacy-related concerns and repeating relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge, and the therapist checks in regularly about what is or isn't helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep steady work on goals despite a full schedule.
