A little more
understanding.
Starting therapy can bring questions. Here are a few practical things to help you take your next step.
Getting started
How do I get started?
Call (864) 432-5340 or visit Lori’s Psychology Today profile (opens in a new tab) to connect with the practice. A free 15-minute consultation is available to discuss your questions and possible next steps.
What happens during the consultation?
The consultation is an opportunity to briefly share what you’re looking for, ask about services and availability, and discuss whether working together could be a fit. It is free and lasts 15 minutes.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on?
No perfect explanation is required to ask about therapy. You can describe what has been difficult or what you hope might be different, and discuss your questions with Lori.
Are you accepting new clients?
Please contact the practice directly to ask about current availability, session times, and any waiting list. Availability is confirmed directly by the practice.
Therapy & fit
Who does Lori work with?
Lori works with preteens, teens, adults, and elders. The practice offers individual, couples, and family therapy.
What concerns can I bring to therapy?
Lori’s areas of focus include family conflict, marital and premarital concerns, and coping skills. Other listed areas include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, stress, and divorce. Explore areas of support or ask about your circumstances during a consultation.

Does Lori offer clinical supervision?
Yes. Lori offers professional supervision, mentorship, and guidance for social workers pursuing independent clinical licensure and private practice. Eligibility and whether supervision counts toward licensure depend on applicable state requirements. Confirm the arrangement with Lori and your licensing board before beginning. Learn about clinical supervision.
Is crisis intervention an emergency service?
Lori offers professional crisis intervention and response, subject to scope and availability. This is not a 24/7 emergency or immediate-response service. Do not use website or practice messages for emergencies. In the U.S., call or text 988 for immediate crisis support; call 911 for a life-threatening emergency.
Is Christian counseling required?
Christian counseling is one of several approaches listed by the practice. If faith is important to you—or if you prefer a different focus—ask Lori how your preferences can be reflected in the work.
What approaches does Lori use?
Lori lists a range of methods, including ACT, CBT, person-centered, strength-based, family and marital therapy, the Gottman Method, motivational interviewing, narrative, reality therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and Christian counseling. Read an introduction to each approach.
