Lori Gabrielsen

Lori Gabrielsen is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia. She brings 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Lori aims to make the first step toward change feel doable. She encourages honest conversation in a calm setting so clients can talk through what matters most to them.

Her approach blends several practical therapies to match each person's needs. Lori uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take committed steps toward those values. Attachment-Based ideas guide work on closeness, trust, and long-standing patterns in relationships.

Sessions focus on clear goals and useful skills. Lori favors straightforward tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and reducing burnout from compassion fatigue. She also brings elements of Client-Centered therapy to create an accepting atmosphere where clients lead the pace of change.

People often come for help with major life transitions, grief, or trouble keeping day-to-day stress in check. Lori listens for what a person most wants to change, then helps build simple steps to get there. She supports practical problem solving and steady progress over time.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for people facing life changes, anxiety, or low motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes practical exercises for sleep, worry, and mood that can be done between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at long-term patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect trust and intimacy. This work can support people struggling with relationship stress or intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori works collaboratively to pick and adapt methods that fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what feels helpful and adjusts tools and pacing together with each person.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic work as in-person care, focusing on goals, skills practice, and steady progress.
