Lori Mello is a Michigan-based therapist who brings 21 years of experience to her work with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, eating concerns, anger, career challenges, and other life transitions. She has provided both individual and group counseling in mental health settings and has supported a variety of social service programs through extensive administrative work.
Her counseling approach is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She avoids labeling people and focuses on practical, collaborative work that helps clients regain a sense of control and move forward.
In private practice she offers individual therapy and draws from an eclectic mix of evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness techniques. She is also a certified life coach, combining therapeutic skills with goal-focused coaching when appropriate.
She holds licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan; her credential is MI LPC 6401005780, and she has been practicing as a counselor for many years. Lori looks forward to supporting clients through their challenges and accompanying them on their journey toward healthier coping and greater well-being.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is scheduling flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Another advantage is continuity of care. Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful.
