About Lani
Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 17 years of experience based in Utah. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem difficulties, career questions, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She practices primarily online and blends practical methods to match each person's goals. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and habits, trying different responses, and applying short exercises between meetings. Lani favors clear, task-oriented work and asks clients to follow through on homework so progress can be reviewed in subsequent sessions.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods. She pays attention to how past relationship experiences may shape current behavior and feelings. That perspective is used alongside focused, skills-based tools when a client wants concrete strategies.
Sessions are designed to identify patterns that keep problems going and to test small changes that improve daily functioning. Lani emphasizes practical steps - thought records, behavioral experiments, communication practice, and brief skill drills - so clients can try alternatives between sessions. She asks for a committed effort to work both in and outside of sessions.
People who prefer a straightforward, structured style that combines skill-building with reflective exploration may find this approach useful. Lani aims to help clients see where change is possible and to support consistent work toward their goals.
How online sessions use CBT and related approaches
Online sessions can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives clear exercises to try between sessions that help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and compulsive habits.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing internal experiences and clarifying values so people can take action that matters. It is useful when worries or painful feelings get in the way of chosen goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship experiences shape expectations and reactions in current relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss approaches and decide together which methods match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process guides what is practiced in sessions and which between-session tasks are assigned.
The biography indicates practice via online telehealth only, so confirm exact session formats before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow focused skill practice from a familiar setting. Some formats use video for interactive skill work while others may be shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or a quieter setting is needed. Ask about the specific session format you prefer before your first appointment.
