About Lani
Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and caregiver stress, sleep disturbances, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and other life transitions.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses complex patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency, dissociation, and issues related to abandonment, control, and communication. Her style blends warmth and directness to create a practical, collaborative environment where clients can explore patterns from past and present relationships and learn concrete skills for change.
Lani draws from Internal Family Systems alongside cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, and acceptance-based methods to tailor interventions to each person’s needs and goals. She encourages active engagement between sessions, including timely completion of assigned work so material can be reviewed and incorporated into ongoing treatment.
Based in Utah, Lani provides services online and accepts international clients. Her approach emphasizes partnership - establishing clear goals together and combining evidence-informed techniques with attention to personal history so clients can better understand themselves and move toward meaningful change.
Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach that helps people notice and relate to different internal parts or voices, allowing exploration of how those parts influence behavior and emotions. It can be useful for trauma responses, internal conflict, and patterns that feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and mindful action; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship dynamics shape emotional responses and connection, helping people improve relational patterns and sense of safety in relationships.
Choosing the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, test approaches that feel helpful, and adjust methods based on progress and preferences rather than prescribing a single path up front.
Online therapy with Lani uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible and accessible. These formats allow scheduling that suits varied routines and can support people who need ongoing symptom management, skills practice, or regular check-ins without commuting to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, pace, and communication style to what works best for each client during remote sessions.
