Dr. Lori Dougherty

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a couples and marriage and substance use counselor licensed in Colorado and Wyoming with 15 years of experience in the field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life challenges, and substance use.

I will strive to connect and understand you through developing a strong therapeutic relationship, which I believe is of the utmost importance for healing and recovery. My goal is to work to inspire you to develop new approaches and solutions to address issues in your complex life. Working from the belief you have the innate ability to heal yourself, I treat the therapeutic process as an opportunity for you to uncover the tools that will support your personal growth. I understand your know yourself best, therefore your concerns and goals form the basis for counseling strategies as I act as a guide to help you find your strengths, and a coach to help further develop them. While I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, I combine tenets of client-centered, dialectical behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, solution focused, and motivational interviewing.

I understand it takes courage to reach out and ask for support when you are feeling alone. If you’re ready to take that step, I look forward to working with you on your journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, remote therapy has been demonstrated to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.

One major benefit is flexibility – you can choose the communication method that fits your routine and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This convenience makes it easier to maintain consistency and fit therapy into a busy life.

All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and if you decide you would prefer a different therapeutic match, it is possible to switch therapists. Online therapy offers an accessible option for engaging in treatment while keeping the same range of therapeutic approaches available through in-person care.
