About Lori

Lori Karman is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 15 years of experience supporting adults through common life struggles. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, career shifts, and relationship concerns. Lori keeps sessions focused and practical so clients leave with tools they can use right away.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, grief, sleeping problems, and issues around attachment and codependency. Lori uses a solution-focused mindset to help people build self-esteem, manage anger, and set clearer boundaries. She also offers Biblical encouragement for clients who want faith to be part of their work.

In a typical session Lori helps clients identify small, concrete steps toward their goals. She teaches coping skills and strategies that fit daily life. The approach emphasizes practice and gradual change rather than long, abstract discussion.

Clients can expect a supportive but goal-oriented atmosphere where progress is tracked and skills are reinforced. Lori aims to help people gain clarity and confidence as they navigate transitions or ongoing challenges. Her practice is based in Indiana and she communicates in English.

Before scheduling, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details. The therapist notes that severe or frequently severe mental health needs, court-ordered matters, and custody-related therapy are best served by local in-person providers.

How Lori's Approaches Shape Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making choices during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help with codependency, communication struggles, and building healthier boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they choose strategies to try and check whether those strategies are helping as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so clients should confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to continue work through transitions like moving or changing jobs. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused techniques to remote sessions, using exercises, homework, and focused conversation to build skills and support change.
