About Lori

Lori Fitch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, and related life changes. Lori also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

She began her work after graduating in 2001 and gained early experience supporting survivors and families affected by September 11th. That work informed ongoing practice in trauma and crisis response, including participation on a county school crisis response team. She also has experience as a high school counselor and has developed school-based programs that support students and parents.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused ideas. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are parts of her toolbox. Sessions typically include active listening, practical feedback, and concrete skills to try between meetings.

Lori helps people sort through family and parenting stress without promising a specific outcome. She offers straightforward support for communication problems, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and attachment-related struggles. She also addresses abandonment, body image, codependency, and sexual identity questions.

People can expect direct conversation about goals and next steps. Lori uses interventions to reduce anxiety and manage mood, and she works with clients to build coping skills for sleep, anger, attention challenges, and workplace conflict. Her style allows room for some humor alongside focused problem solving.

How sessions work

How Lori's approaches translate to online work

Lori uses client-centered listening to help people clarify goals and feel heard. That approach focuses on the client’s concerns and responses, and it helps with relationship troubles, parenting stress, and life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. CBT provides concrete tools for anxiety, sleep problems, mood management, and ADHD-related routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to name and shift interaction patterns in relationships; it helps people notice emotions and try different responses when communication is stuck.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Lori will talk through goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adjusts techniques based on what a person reports and how they respond over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also choose exercises that work well without video or that use mindfulness practices between meetings.
