About Lori
Lori Karman is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She holds LMHC and LPCC credentials and works with people who want practical skills to handle daily challenges. Lori offers straightforward, skills-based support so clients can move forward with clearer plans.
She focuses on short-term tools and steady progress. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way and then build coping strategies you can use right away.
Background and approach
Lori helps people with worries about parenting, work changes, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, and attention difficulties. Her approach blends body-focused awareness with evidence-based strategies. That means paying attention to how stress shows up in the body and then practicing techniques to change those reactions.
She also uses cognitive and acceptance-based methods to shift unhelpful thoughts and build values-driven action. Lori keeps sessions practical and collaborative. Clients can expect clear goals, skill practice, and check-ins on what’s working.
For people who want faith included, she offers Biblical encouragement as part of the conversation when it fits the client’s goals. She provides care from Indiana and conducts sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. If someone is in crisis or needs intensive local services, Lori advises contacting emergency services or local in-person providers.
How somatic and skills-based approaches work online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to how stress and emotion show up in the body. Online sessions can include guided body awareness, breathing, and gentle movement to help reduce physical tension and ground responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. That approach helps with worry, avoidance, and motivation by combining mindfulness with concrete steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people improve how they connect, set boundaries, and understand emotional triggers.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, practice skills between meetings, and keep therapy consistent when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, guide somatic exercises, and check progress while working with each person’s schedule and comfort.
