About Lori
Lori Parrs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, addiction, trauma and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Lori commonly helps people who struggle with body image, compulsive overeating, exercise and food addiction, and low self-esteem. She also works with clients facing grief, anger, parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and the ripple effects of abandonment and attachment wounds.
Her approach mixes straightforward, practical methods with client-centered conversation. Lori uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational techniques when those tools fit the situation.
In sessions she focuses on clear steps people can try between meetings. That can mean experimenting with different responses to stressful thoughts, practicing emotion regulation skills, or unpacking how eating and exercise habits relate to mood. She encourages short, doable changes alongside deeper reflection.
Lori has worked in a variety of clinical settings over her career and brings that experience into session planning. She asks direct questions about what a client wants to change and helps set measurable goals. People who want practical, structured work on thinking, habits, and coping usually find this approach useful.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses to them. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, body image problems, and habits related to eating and substance use.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on clarifying values and practicing acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while taking values-driven action. It can help when avoidance gets in the way of daily goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting working relationship that lets the client guide what to focus on in a session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying CBT exercises for a few sessions or adding mindfulness or DBT skills as needed.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Generally, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. A therapist and client can also agree on the session length and pace that best matches daily responsibilities.
