About Lori
Lori Justice is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with individuals to build on their strengths and find clearer ways forward. Lori emphasizes practical steps and steady support when changes feel overwhelming.
She brings 12 years of clinical experience in Kansas to each session. Lori treats concerns related to attention differences and a wide range of relationship and life stresses. Her work also touches on adoption and foster care issues, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and transitions that come with aging.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people identify small, achievable steps. Conversations center on the client’s goals and what fits their daily life. Lori aims for straightforward strategies rather than jargon, so people leave with things they can try between meetings.
She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and that strengths already exist to build on. Lori supports people through the uncertainty of change and the practical work of making different choices. Her approach is collaborative and steady, focused on helping people feel more capable in everyday situations.
To begin, she asks about current struggles and priorities, then tailors the work to those needs. Lori offers a calm, practical space for people who want to reduce worry, manage mood, and repair or improve important relationships.
Approaches that guide online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include short-term, focused methods that teach skills for managing mood and stress. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. This type of work usually involves setting concrete practice tasks between sessions and reviewing how they went.Another helpful approach centers on processing trauma in manageable steps. That work focuses on building safety, learning grounding and coping skills, and then carefully addressing distressing memories when the person feels ready. It is paced to match each person’s needs and tolerance.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will listen to goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide which techniques fit the person’s life, values, and pace.
If you’re interested in online appointments, confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what’s offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or other tight schedules. It can also let people use a shorter phone check-in when bandwidth or a quick touchpoint is preferred.
