About Lori
Lori Parrs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance concerns, eating and body-image struggles, and anger. Lori supports clients wrestling with relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting stress, and life transitions.
Her background includes work in a range of settings and with diverse people. She often sees recurring patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and codependency, and she helps people notice how those patterns shape daily choices. Lori uses practical, evidence-based strategies rather than long lectures. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings.
In the room she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. That mix lets her address thinking habits, emotional regulation, and values-based decisions. She uses behavioral tools for immediate problems and mindful skills for ongoing stress management.
Lori pays attention to eating-related issues, compulsive behaviors, and addictions alongside mood concerns. She helps people break cycles of shame and self-blame, improve communication, and set manageable boundaries. Practical homework and skill practice are common parts of her work.
Clients can expect a direct but respectful style that balances listening with concrete suggestions. She invites people to try small changes, notice what works, and adjust the plan as needed.
How Lori’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It’s useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes when someone wants action linked to values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills to test thoughts and try different responses; this can help with anger, low mood, and compulsive habits. Mindfulness Therapy trains moment-to-moment awareness and simple breathing or noticing exercises to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and what’s happening in their life. That means trying a skill, checking how it felt, and adjusting the plan rather than committing to one technique up front.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery types. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family schedules and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and behavioral homework between meetings so therapy can be integrated into everyday routines.
