About Lori

Lori Justice is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Kansas. She has 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and family conflict. Lori emphasizes each person's strengths and treats the client as the expert on their own story. She aims to provide steady support as people take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps clients break big problems into smaller, manageable steps. Conversations focus on practical ways to reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and cope with difficult memories or emotions. Lori clears space for clients to notice strengths they already have and to build new skills that fit their daily life.

Her background includes work with attention-related challenges such as ADHD and with concerns around attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics. She also has experience supporting people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image struggles, and life changes related to aging or adoption and foster care.

Therapy with Lori centers on collaboration. She helps clients set realistic goals, practices new ways of responding, and checks in on what is helping. People who want straightforward, skill-focused support that honors their lived experience may find her approach helpful.

Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, confirm current session formats to choose the option that best fits your schedule and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and finding the right fit online

Lori draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and real-world changes. One common strand is skills training that teaches specific ways to manage anxiety, improve communication, and handle stress. These are short, actionable strategies clients can use between sessions.

Another useful approach emphasizes exploring past experiences that shape current reactions, helping people understand patterns rooted in attachment or trauma. This work aims to reduce repeated cycles and open new choices for responding to relationships and stressors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match goals, needs, and preferences to methods that feel most helpful. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust techniques over time so the work stays relevant.

Because the biography does not list specific online session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice new skills in the situations where they live and work, with follow-up conversations to refine what helps most.
