Lorri Charnas is a licensed therapist in Ohio with 25 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, depression, and general life issues.

She approaches therapy believing that the individual is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to overcome current challenges. Taking the first step to begin therapy often requires courage, and Lorri honors that decision as an important start toward change.
Her methods are adapted to meet each client’s needs and goals, with a focus on developing insight, self-compassion, and a balanced, joyful life. Lorri is licensed in Ohio as an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker), license number OH LISW I.0009027, and she takes pride in guiding clients as they navigate whatever issues they are experiencing. You are not alone in this process, and she will work collaboratively with you toward feeling better.
Many people ask whether online therapy really makes a difference. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major advantage of online therapy is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch to a different therapist at any time if they are seeking a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, practical way to address everyday mental health concerns and life transitions.
