About Lori

Lori Justice is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Lori encourages clients to recognize their strengths and to use those strengths when working through difficult moments.

She believes the person in therapy is the expert on their own story. Lori supports people as they name their goals and then takes a collaborative approach to reach them.

Background and approach

She aims for clear, manageable steps rather than long, abstract plans. With 12 years of professional work experience, Lori has spent time supporting people with a wide range of concerns. These include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and aging-related questions.

She also works with body image, cancer-related stress, and communication or control issues. Lori adapts conversations to the needs of each person. She listens for practical patterns and helps people try new strategies at home.

Progress is usually about small changes that add up over weeks and months. She is licensed in Missouri as LMFT and in Kansas as LCMFT and provides services in Kansas. Sessions are conducted in English.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online care

Two evidence-based approaches Lori draws on are practical problem-solving and strengths-focused work. Practical problem-solving breaks issues into clear steps so clients can try small experiments between sessions and see what helps. Strengths-focused work highlights the skills and resources a person already has and uses those as a starting point for change.

A second common element is trauma-informed listening. This means the therapist pays attention to how past harm shows up now and helps people develop safer ways of coping. That approach is useful for people dealing with trauma, abuse, or long-term stress responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lori works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Therapy plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what is not, so clients help shape the plan as they go.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If phone or video sessions are available, they can help maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
