About Lori

Lori Gabrielsen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She draws on 24 years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and low self-esteem. Lori aims to make the first step toward help feel doable and calm.

She emphasizes making a space where people can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on listening first and working together to find practical ways forward. Lori helps clients sort through relationship strain, intimacy questions, compassion fatigue, and life changes that feel overwhelming.

Background and approach

Her work uses narrative ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches. That means she helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and try small changes that match their values. Attachment-based and client-centered methods guide how she builds trust and responds to each person's experience.

Lori often supports people having trouble sleeping because of worry or change. She also helps process trauma and abuse at a pace the person controls. Conversations include skills for managing emotions and steps to rebuild confidence after loss or burnout.

Practical concerns are part of the work. Lori will help set goals, try strategies between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed. Her style is straightforward, calm, and focused on what a person wants to change next.

Online session options

How narrative and ACT translate to online care

Online work with Lori draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit digital sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite those stories so they support the goals a person cares about. This approach can help with identity, self-esteem, and relationship patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, grief, and stress when someone wants practical steps to live toward what matters.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lori will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting when something is not working. That collaborative planning helps sessions stay focused and useful.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
