Lori Smith

Lori Smith is a licensed therapist practicing in Arizona with 11 years of clinical experience. She approaches care by addressing the whole person and combines traditional psychotherapy with complementary skills as a holistic nutritionist, hypnotherapist, and life coach.

Her work centers on the connection between mind, body, and spirit - recognizing that mental and physical well-being influence one another. Lori places a strong emphasis on uncovering and healing the roots of past experiences, and she specializes in trauma therapy. She is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and uses that training to help clients process traumatic memories.

Lori works with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem struggles, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Her therapeutic style is eclectic and integrative, adapting each session to the specific needs, goals, and motivation of the individual. Common techniques she uses include cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavioral strategies, solution-focused approaches, EMDR, and exposure therapy. She values educating clients, honoring each person’s worth, and supporting the courage it takes to seek help.

Lori is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona and brings both clinical training and holistic modalities to her practice. She aims to help clients identify their values and beliefs, understand how past experiences shape the present, and access their potential for change.
