About Lori
Lori Fitch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience. She brings steady, practical support to parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Her style is warm, straightforward, and often a little humorous to ease tense conversations.
She draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. Lori uses client-centered listening to understand priorities and cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and day-to-day habits.
Background and approach
She also incorporates mindfulness to help people calm their bodies and emotions during hard moments. Many clients seek her help for parenting challenges, relationship strain, sleep problems, and coping after trauma or loss. Lori also works with people facing substance concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and issues around intimacy and sexual identity.
She includes focused work on attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care topics, and communication problems. As a high school counselor, Lori has developed programs that support students and parents, and she has experience responding to community crises. That background informs her practical approach to problem solving and crisis response.
She aims to offer clear guidance while respecting each person’s pace and values. Sessions may include goal-setting, skill practice, and short-term coaching alongside deeper emotional work. Lori helps people make concrete changes at home and in relationships, then checks in to adjust the plan as needed.

How Lori’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and priorities. Online sessions allow Lori to listen carefully, reflect what matters most, and help clients shape goals that feel realistic for home and family life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors. In virtual sessions Lori can assign short exercises, track sleep and mood, and review homework together to create steady progress on anxiety, parenting routines, or mood symptoms.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and shift emotional patterns in relationships. Used online, it supports parents and individuals who want clearer communication and more supported emotional connections at home.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She balances short-term skill building with deeper emotional work based on what the client prefers.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well for therapy that benefits from face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and changing routines.
