About Lori

Lori Gieseler is a licensed social worker who brings a warm, interactive counseling style to her work with adolescents, adults, and couples. She holds an MSW, which is a Master of Social Work, and an LCSW, which is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she practices in the state of Louisiana after graduating from LSU-Baton Rouge. Lori focuses on meeting people where they are and helping them build greater self-regard and appreciation for their life experiences.

Her practice includes work with mood disorders, partners of individuals struggling with sexual addiction, and people adjusting to unexpected changes and challenges. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - commonly called CBT - to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thinking patterns so they can change behaviors and reactions to life events. Lori guides sessions with reflective questions and a client-centered framework, shaping each treatment plan to a person’s specific needs.

Throughout her work she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to help people learn new ways of responding to difficulties and to take gradual steps toward better outcomes. Lori encourages those ready to begin the work of self-care to reach out and consider a collaborative therapeutic path.

Approaches for Online Support and Therapeutic Growth

Lori Gieseler integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current connections, helping people understand patterns in intimacy and trust and supporting healing around attachment wounds. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and uses reflective listening to foster self-discovery and personal growth. In addition, Lori uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts to change emotional responses and behaviors, which can be especially useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lori works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve, inviting feedback and shared decision making.

Online therapy with Lori is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from locations across Louisiana, while still working with a licensed professional who applies evidence-informed techniques.
