About
Lori Speed, LCMHC, LPC, chose a career in mental health out of a lifelong desire to help others, a commitment that deepened over time and shaped the way she approaches counseling today. She brings a heartfelt focus to the work, aiming to create a supportive, productive space where people can talk openly about what they are carrying and begin moving toward meaningful change.
Her graduate training is in marriage, couples, and family counseling, and she also has experience working with trauma and substance abuse. While she is especially passionate about strengthening marriages and supporting families, she also meets with individuals who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues.
Lori provides marriage counseling, premarital counseling, and divorce care, and she emphasizes that seeking therapy is not something to feel ashamed about. When life takes unexpected turns, counseling can be a steady place to sort through decisions, build coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most. She is licensed in North Carolina and Arizona, with additional licenses pending in other states.

Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Care
Lori Speed uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which means the work is guided by approaches that are commonly used by licensed professionals and supported by research. In practice, this often includes structured skill-building to help clients respond differently to stress, anxiety, and depression, along with practical strategies that can be used between sessions when life feels overwhelming.Because her background is in marriage, couples, and family counseling, sessions can also focus on strengthening communication patterns and clarifying needs in relationships. This kind of work can be helpful for couples navigating conflict, premarital preparation, separation or divorce transitions, and parenting challenges where teamwork and consistency matter.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori collaborates with clients to understand what brings them to therapy, what they want to change, and what style of support feels most useful, then adjusts the work to match those goals over time.
Online therapy adds flexibility by making it possible to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, keep momentum between sessions, and access support in a format that feels comfortable and practical.
