About Lori
Lori Farrens is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience. She is licensed in Nevada as an LCPC and in Georgia as an LPC and practices from Idaho. Lori helps people who are dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and major life changes.
She works directly with issues such as first responder stress, post-traumatic stress, feelings of guilt and shame, and challenges around sexuality and sex addiction. Lori also supports people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns, isolation or loneliness, and social anxiety. Her work repeatedly includes grief and forgiveness themes for people adjusting to loss or difficult transitions.
Her approach uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make changes. Sessions focus on talking through what led to the problem, recognizing personal strengths, and building practical steps for different situations. Lori aims to reduce shame and provide clear direction so people can set realistic goals and practice new ways of coping.
She frames change around both acceptance and action. That means acknowledging how things are now while trying small, concrete changes that fit daily life. Lori adapts sessions so discussions and treatment plans match what each person needs, and she watches progress over time to adjust the approach.
People who choose Lori can expect direct conversation about behavior, triggers, and consequences. The work often includes developing skills for anger management, addressing addictive patterns, and processing traumatic memories so daily functioning improves.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Many of Lori Farrens' methods draw on well-supported, practical approaches. One approach focuses on understanding triggers and changing behaviors through step-by-step strategies that help reduce angry reactions and risky habits. Another approach emphasizes processing traumatic memories and the emotional responses that follow, which can lessen repeated reactivity and intrusive memories.Choosing the best method is part of the work. Lori collaborates with each person to identify which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts plans so the methods stay useful over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let someone avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on everyday changes.
