About Lori

Lori Karman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical, skill-based work for adults who are juggling stress, life changes, parenting concerns, and day-to-day anxiety. Lori offers straightforward tools people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Her style is solution-focused and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to identify small, specific steps a person can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Lori teaches coping skills for anxiety, anger management, sleep struggles, and self-esteem work. She helps clients build clearer boundaries and improve communication patterns. Faith can be part of the work when clients prefer it.

Lori provides Biblical encouragement alongside therapy when that fits a person's values and goals. She balances that with evidence-informed methods when people want an approach based in therapy models. Her training includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy.

Those methods are used to shape practical exercises and conversations that fit each person's situation. Sessions may include skill practice, reflection, and planning for real-world changes. Lori works from Indiana and provides services in English.

She makes space for people navigating grief, parenting challenges, career shifts, and adjustments to life transitions. For urgent or severe crises, individuals are advised to seek immediate local emergency services.

Approach-focused care you can access online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and working through tough life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on small changes in thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and can help improve connection and communication.

Lori treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and other responsibilities. Using different formats, people can practice skills, check in between meetings, and keep therapy consistent even when life is unpredictable.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
