About Loni
With 14 years of experience, Loni has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people dealing with addictions, bipolar challenges, sleep disruption, and relationship strain. Body image and attachment issues are among the additional topics she addresses.
Loni uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions focus on small, doable steps: noticing patterns, learning coping skills, and practicing new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings. She aims for therapies that fit each person’s life, not one-size-fits-all solutions.
Her style is direct but warm. She values honesty and practical work. Parents will find straightforward guidance for parenting challenges and help balancing care demands.
People who choose Loni can expect collaborative planning, skill-building, and creative strategies tailored to individual needs. She encourages resilience through real-world practices and steady support as people work toward changes that matter.
How Loni’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns such as worry, low mood, or avoiding food-related triggers. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and reshape emotional responses that affect relationships and self-regulation.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Loni will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust over time. She emphasizes simple practices and exercises you can use between sessions so progress continues outside the meeting time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using digital tools and worksheets together during sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT for virtual settings while keeping sessions focused and practical.
