About Lori

Lori Mattix is a licensed clinical social worker with 37 years of experience helping teens, adults, and families navigate a wide range of life challenges. She provides individual, group, and family counseling and brings long-standing experience in areas such as anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anger management, and issues related to foster care and adoption. Lori holds an LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, reflecting advanced training in clinical assessment and therapeutic care.

She focuses on building a respectful, non-judgmental environment where each person’s concerns are heard and addressed. Rather than relying on a single method, Lori tailors treatment plans through collaboration, seeking the client’s input to shape the direction of counseling. This flexibility allows her to support people facing stress, relationship difficulties, grief, eating concerns, parenting challenges, addiction, trauma, and other complex matters.

Lori aims to provide steady support, practical coping strategies, and the trust needed for progress. Her approach emphasizes working together to set goals and adapt techniques so clients can manage current problems and build skills for the future.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy in Lori's practice emphasizes listening to the individual and building therapy around the client's own goals. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, strengthen self-esteem, and improve coping with stress or relationship issues. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and immediate strategies to address current problems, making it useful for clients seeking short-term change, clearer goals, or relief from anxiety and day-to-day challenges.

Lori works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach, or combination of approaches, best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages open discussion about what is and is not working so the plan can be adjusted together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Lori offers flexibility in how people connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing sessions to fit work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, switch between formats as circumstances change, and access licensed professionals from different locations when in-state availability allows.
