About Lori

Lori Fitch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience. She has worked across age groups and settings, including outpatient therapy and school counseling, and brings a steady, practical approach to common family and parenting concerns. Lori focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the daily challenges of parenting and family life.

Her work often addresses grief, relationship problems, addictions, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and issues related to identity and sexuality.

Background and approach

She also supports families navigating adoption, blended family dynamics, and separation or divorce. Lori combines straightforward listening with clear guidance so parents and caregivers can try small, useful changes at home. In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, empathetic relationship and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change patterns that cause distress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps where attachment and close relationships are central, while mindfulness skills help calm the body and mind. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make lasting changes but feel stuck. Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental.

Lori aims to balance support with practical steps and sometimes uses gentle humor to ease tension. Parents and family members can expect active listening, clear feedback, and collaboratively developed plans they can try between sessions. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Lori’s practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and scheduling is arranged through an online matching and booking process.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy puts the relationship first, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters to the client so parents and family members feel heard and respected. This approach helps people talk through tough emotions and make decisions that fit their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing manageable changes. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and parenting-related stress by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is useful when attachment and close family relationships are central. It helps people notice patterns in how they connect, name emotions, and try new ways of responding to reduce conflict and increase understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. This collaboration helps make therapy practical and aligned with each family’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Lori uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so sessions can fit around school, work, and home life. These options make it easier to maintain regular meetings and apply new skills in real time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
