About Lori
Lori Gabrielsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who uses relationship-focused and evidence-informed methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
She creates a welcoming space for honest conversation and supports clients as they take steps toward clearer goals and more satisfying daily life. Lori leans on approaches that include the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
She blends practical skill-building with attention to emotions and relationship patterns. Sessions focus on small, doable changes people can use right away.
With 24 years of experience, Lori has worked with many adults who feel stuck after a loss, overwhelmed by daily stress, or struggling with confidence and motivation. She offers straightforward strategies for coping with sleep problems, managing compassion fatigue, and navigating life transitions.
In the therapy room, Lori listens carefully and helps people notice patterns that keep them limited. She uses clear questions, reflective listening, and exercises that build new skills.
The work emphasizes real-life practice between sessions so gains hold up over time. People who choose Lori will find a calm, steady presence and a focus on practical steps.
She encourages realistic goals and checks in on progress. Lori aims to help clients feel more able to manage hard moments and to make meaningful changes in their relationships and daily routines.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Many of Lori's methods translate well to remote work. The Gottman Method focuses on interaction patterns and communication skills that can be practiced during sessions and between them to improve connection and reduce conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-driven actions, which helps when coping with anxiety, loss, or life change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current responses and can guide work on intimacy-related concerns and trust.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. She reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays practical and relevant to your daily life.
Online formats offer flexibility and routine-friendly options. Video calls let you practice communication and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, tracking homework, or getting support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping the focus on usable skills and steady progress.
