About Loni
Loni Nolte is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, trauma and grief. She also addresses relationship struggles, addiction, sleep problems, self-esteem, and career-related stress.
She uses practical, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try new responses, and build everyday coping skills. Loni integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based ideas and attachment-focused work to address both thinking patterns and emotional connection.
Her approach is direct and straightforward. She listens to each person's situation and offers clear strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Loni looks for concrete ways to change thinking, manage emotions, and adjust behavior in daily life.
She often brings creative exercises into sessions when they fit the client's needs. That can mean role-playing communication, scheduling brief behavioral experiments, or using simple mindfulness practices to interrupt rumination. These are framed as short activities to try outside the session.
Loni has experience helping people through major life changes, caregiving stress, and complex grief. She also supports people facing identity-related concerns such as LGBT issues and adoption or attachment challenges. People who want practical tools and step-by-step methods may find her style a good match.
How CBT, ACT, and attachment work in online sessions
CBT is a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It focuses on small experiments and practical exercises that can be practiced between appointments and tracked over time.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action so people can move toward meaningful goals even when uncomfortable feelings arise.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape expectations and reactions. It helps people understand emotional triggers and try different ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT exercises with acceptance strategies and attachment-focused conversations.
