Lori Burns

Lori Burns is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Indiana with 26 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, and parenting challenges. Lori also focuses on life purpose and midlife questions when clients are unsure what comes next.

She listens for the real difficulties under the surface. Sessions are practical and conversational. Lori helps people name unhelpful patterns, test new ways of handling conflict, and set manageable steps for change.

Her background spans many years of clinical work with adults. That experience informs how she responds to workplace strain, caregiver stress, and attachment concerns. She also supports people dealing with process and sex addictions and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation.

Lori pays attention to relationship skills such as communication and boundaries. She helps parents who feel overwhelmed and young adults navigating transitions. She addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, and other emotions that block forward movement.

When life purpose feels unclear, Lori focuses on practical exploration rather than quick fixes. Conversations look at values, daily routines, and choices that affect meaning. Together with clients she clarifies what matters now and what small changes are possible next.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Two evidence-based approaches Lori draws on are cognitive-behavioral ideas and attachment-focused work. Cognitive-behavioral ideas look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teach practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Attachment-focused work examines patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they communicate and connect.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts plans over time so strategies stay useful as circumstances change.

The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, whether someone needs shorter check-ins, a session during a lunch break, or to avoid travel time. Working remotely can also help when quieter surroundings or less visual bandwidth are important. Licensed professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to keep therapy consistent with everyday schedules.
