About Lori

Lori Mireles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who bases her work on practical, person-focused therapy. She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental so clients can speak openly about what matters to them.

In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow the client’s concerns rather than impose a fixed plan.

Background and approach

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and tests small changes that can make daily life easier. These methods are used to address relationship and family worries as well as communication problems, loneliness, forgiveness, and building self-love. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on practical next steps.

Lori helps people develop coping skills, try new ways of thinking, and practice different responses in real situations. Progress is often measured by clearer communication, fewer intense reactions, and improved day-to-day functioning. Sessions may include talking through recent events, practicing new communication habits, and setting simple goals to try between meetings.

Lori respects each person’s pace and works collaboratively to choose strategies that feel useful. Her approach is meant to be accessible for someone seeking help from a caring professional in Texas who wants clear tools and steady support.

Using Client-Centered and CBT Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating space for each person to share what matters most. In an online session this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and tests small, practical changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, or change unhelpful reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as the work progresses. Together they decide which methods feel most useful for the issues at hand and adapt those methods to fit online formats and daily life demands.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls let people connect face to face from home, phone sessions offer a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter, flexible ways to check in. These formats support continuity of care and let clients practice skills in real time between meetings.

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.
