About Lori
Lori Stalcar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. She draws on 19 years of clinical experience and practical methods to guide conversations and set achievable goals.
Lori aims to make sessions straightforward and focused so parents and adults can use what they learn right away. She combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce overwhelm and increase calm in day-to-day life. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels hard or when someone is unsure where to start. Lori works with a broad list of concerns including parenting, family tensions, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career stress.
Additional topics she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and first responder issues. The work is practical and tailored to each person’s situation. Sessions can include short-term coaching-style work or deeper emotional processing depending on goals.
Lori emphasizes teamwork with those she sees - clients help set priorities and try small, concrete steps between sessions. Her background supports people who need both emotional support and clear tools to move forward. She offers services in English and accepts international clients.
As an LPC practicing in Colorado, she blends structured techniques with empathic listening to help clients find workable paths through difficult times.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps set goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful when people need a supportive space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Work often includes identifying unhelpful thinking, testing beliefs, and practicing different responses. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These short exercises can make it easier to handle strong emotions and stay present during parenting or stressful days.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches collaboratively, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. Clients help set goals and decide whether to focus on practical skills, emotional processing, or both.
Online sessions provide flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work from different places. The variety of formats supports follow-up between sessions and quick check-ins when practical.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
