About Lori

Lori Karman is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience who provides practical, skills-focused support for adults navigating stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines evidence-based strategies with a goals-oriented style, helping clients develop coping skills for issues such as anger, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, grief, and career or parenting stress. Lori also offers faith-based encouragement for those who want to integrate Christian perspectives into their growth.

Her work centers on identifying realistic, usable tools clients can apply right away, from communication techniques to boundary setting and anger management. She draws on approaches like Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people shift unhelpful patterns and build habits that support long-term well-being.

Lori creates a focused, supportive environment aimed at skill-building, clarity, and forward movement while recognizing when more intensive, in-person services may be appropriate. Based in Indiana and licensed as an LMHC and LPCC, she supports adults seeking practical, collaborative therapy tailored to everyday challenges and personal growth.

Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as composed of distinct parts and helps people understand and relate to those internal voices with curiosity and care; this approach can be useful for addressing persistent anxiety, self-criticism, and patterns that feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life, which is helpful for stress, avoidance, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating shaped by early connections and can support work on communication, trust, and relational distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lori works collaboratively with each client to identify what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which strategies feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Lori is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and to access therapy from home or other convenient locations while still engaging in evidence-informed work with a licensed professional.
