About Lori
Lori Burns is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, grief, and parenting challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is happening in a family's day-to-day life. Lori brings a calm, steady presence and practical guidance for parents who feel overwhelmed or uncertain about next steps.
She uses nearly three decades of clinical work to tailor what happens in the room to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is working now, what needs to change, and small steps that can make things easier at home. Sessions often include skills for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and managing everyday stress. Over 26 years of practice, Lori has worked with people addressing attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation issues, and forgiveness struggles.
She also helps with guilt and shame, questions about life purpose and midlife shifts, and process or sex-related behavioral concerns. Her experience includes supporting women's issues, workplace challenges, and young adult transitions. Lori holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC, in Indiana (IN LMHC 39001961A).
She offers services in English and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
Lori works with each client to set clear, manageable goals and practical steps toward change.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Evidence-based therapy often means using structured, practical techniques that people can use every day. One approach focuses on building skills to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, pacing, and clear problem-solving. These tools help when worries feel overwhelming or when daily routines break down.Another common approach looks at relationships and attachment patterns to improve how people connect and communicate. This work helps with recurring conflicts, trust issues, and repairing strained communication by practicing new interaction habits and clearer expression of needs.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, personal history, and what feels most useful. Together they choose techniques that match the client’s needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and working adults. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face, while phone sessions can fit into tight schedules. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid everyday demands.
