Lori Fraser , LPC

Lori Fraser brings a warm, nonjudgmental presence and a genuine enjoyment of connecting with people to her therapeutic work. She is a natural helper and a self-described people person who focuses on guiding clients through the process of identifying and processing difficult feelings. Lori holds two master’s degrees - one in Family Therapy and one in School Counseling for ages 0-21 - and she is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), which reflects her formal training and clinical experience.

Lori has specialized training in EMDR and in Emotional Freedom Technique, often called “tapping,” approaches she uses to address traumatic memories and to reduce anxiety and physiological arousal. She also incorporates movement and body-based supports such as Brain Gym and yoga when appropriate, noting their potential benefits for attention challenges such as ADHD. Her background in sport psychology informs her work on goal setting, visualization, and overcoming performance obstacles, skills she often shares with clients facing life transitions or specific ambitions.

Lori integrates techniques she uses personally, including guided meditations to soothe strong emotions, improve sleep, and recharge energy. She works with people across a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem, and she tailors her approach to each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lori draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic environment where clients are listened to without judgment. This approach emphasizes the client’s own pace and priorities and is useful for building self-esteem, managing stress, and exploring life purpose. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another approach she uses to help people understand and reorganize their emotional responses in relationships, making it helpful for couples work and interpersonal difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides structured strategies to address the effects of trauma and abuse, offering ways to process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lori works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds. The collaboration helps ensure the plan feels practical and respectful of the client’s values.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls and phone sessions provide face-to-face connection without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging give flexible options for those with busy schedules or who prefer written communication. These formats expand access and make consistent care easier to maintain with licensed professionals and therapists.
