About Lori

Lori Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri and Illinois with 16 years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people who are managing stress and anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, recovering from trauma and abuse, and addressing symptoms of depression. Lori approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she shapes conversations and care plans to reflect each individual's circumstances and goals.

As an LCSW - a social work license that indicates advanced clinical training in assessment and treatment - Lori combines practical strategies with a person-centered stance, adapting her approach to what will best serve the client. She acknowledges that taking the first step toward therapy can require courage and affirms that beginning the process is an important achievement. Lori emphasizes collaborative planning and tailors treatment to meet unique needs so clients can move toward clearer priorities and better coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and develop willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that aligns with what matters most. This approach can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and the client's own goals; it supports growth in areas such as self-esteem, relationships, and personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build more effective coping strategies.

Lori approaches the selection of methods as a collaborative process - she will work with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences. The process of finding the right fit is part of the work together and can evolve over time.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend appointments around work, family, and daily commitments. This format helps clients access consistent support and maintain continuity of care while working with therapists who tailor interventions to each individual's situation.
