About Lori

Dr. Lori Graham helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She supports people working through addiction, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and issues linked to attention differences. She also addresses codependency and family of origin concerns. Her tone is practical and compassionate.

Lori is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Colorado with three decades of experience. She shapes conversations to fit each person. Sessions focus on what feels most useful and realistic for daily life. She encourages small changes that add up over time.

Her style blends several approaches. She uses client-centered listening to let people set the agenda. She brings cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Emotionally-focused ideas help when people want clearer emotional connection and understanding.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help with ambivalence about change. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at patterns that repeat from past relationships. The aim is practical progress rather than labels.

People who reach out can expect respect and patience. Lori frames therapy as a joint effort and adjusts the plan as needs change. If someone is unsure about beginning therapy, she notes that starting is a strong first step and helps with matching goals to the work ahead.

How Dr. Graham’s approaches work online and in sessions

Client-centered therapy starts by listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone wants a respectful space to talk and to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and uses simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. That approach is often helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing day-to-day stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and how they show up in relationships and personal patterns; it can help people name feelings and work through intense emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. The choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Talk with the therapist about what fits your routine and needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work, school, or caregiving. Licensed professionals can tailor the pacing and tools to what works best for everyday life.
