About Lori

Lori Brax is a licensed social worker who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She connects with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. Lori uses straightforward conversation and concrete tools to help people feel steadier and make small, useful changes.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She tailors conversations and plans to match each person’s situation and goals. Lori draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and swap them for more useful ones.

Background and approach

CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with change. In addition to those areas, she has experience addressing relationship and family matters, parenting questions, addiction issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and ADHD.

Lori also works with people facing aging and geriatric challenges, caregiver stress, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, isolation or loneliness, and sexual assault recovery. Her background includes 12 years of clinical work in Kansas as an LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker. Lori helps people take small steps toward clearer routines, steadier moods, and better coping.

She listens, offers practical strategies, and adjusts plans as needs change. For many, that kind of steady, focused support makes daily life easier to manage.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse. The approach uses simple exercises and actions to shift those thoughts and change how someone feels and behaves, which can help with sleep, mood, and daily routines.

In sessions Lori pairs clear skill-building with everyday problem solving. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to stress, setting small goals for parenting or caregiving tasks, or trying short behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance. The work is hands-on and focused on what will help most in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working or not working.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people balancing family and caregiving responsibilities. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions provide a simpler option when schedules are tight, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and follow-up between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on concrete change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
