Lori Fitch

Lori Fitch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of experience providing outpatient therapy to individuals across the lifespan, from early childhood through older adulthood. She earned her degree from Chestnut Hill College in April 2001 and soon after developed extensive trauma counseling experience while supporting survivors and victims' families impacted by the September 11th terrorist attacks. Over the years, she has continued advanced training related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and serves as a trained member of the Lehigh County “Flight Team,” a group that travels to school districts to support students and staff following a crisis.

In addition to outpatient work, Lori is also a high school counselor, where she has had the opportunity to develop programs that address student mental health needs and provide support for parents. Her counseling style is warm, open-minded, interactive, and non-judgmental, and she values the role of humor as a meaningful part of the therapeutic process. Clients can expect attentive listening, practical support, and thoughtful direction as goals are clarified and progress is made over time.

Lori draws from cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based strategies, along with additional evidence-informed methods, tailoring each approach to the individual’s needs. Alongside trauma-related concerns, she has experience working with anxiety (including generalized and social anxiety), obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, major life transitions, parenting challenges, body image concerns, divorce, workplace bullying, self-esteem, empty nest concerns, phobias, and sexual identity issues.
