Lori Gabrielsen, LPC

Lori Gabrielsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who centers her work on practical, relationship-related concerns and everyday emotional struggles. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and intimacy or relationship challenges. Lori emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they need to say and begin untangling difficult feelings.

She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered therapy, and the Gottman Method to shape sessions. In practice this means focusing on what matters most to each person, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying out new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings. Conversations are direct and grounded in real-life situations.

With more than two decades of experience, Lori supports people who are coping with life changes, grief, sleep problems, and trauma and abuse reactions. She pays attention to how past relationships affect current ones and works to strengthen emotional connection and self-understanding. Sessions aim to build practical skills alongside personal insight.

Lori asks curious questions and listens closely so clients can name priorities and set realistic goals. She encourages small steps that fit daily life and helps people track progress along the way. The focus is on steady improvement rather than quick fixes.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Lori’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to break unhelpful cycles. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and coping with change.

The therapist treats deciding on an approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Together you’ll review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so work in sessions connects to everyday life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills between meetings in the places they live and relate, which can speed up learning and change.
