Lori Ranfeld, LPC

Lori Ranfeld is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship tension, family challenges, parenting strain, depression, and anger. Lori also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and issues around self-esteem and life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She creates space for people to speak about what is happening in their lives. Conversations focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and practicing new ways of responding to triggers such as anger or workplace frustration.

Lori draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and improve communication. Sessions often look at how daily routines, thinking habits, and relationship patterns keep problems stuck. She guides clients through simple exercises they can use between meetings to steady mood and reduce reactive responses.

She also pays attention to broader life factors like parenting demands, grief, and career pressures that can increase stress and make anger harder to manage. Lori helps clients set realistic goals and track progress in concrete steps. That might include practicing breathing or brief behavioral experiments, then reviewing what worked.

For those who have faced trauma, adoption or family-of-origin difficulties, Lori offers consistent support while focusing on present-day coping. People who want coaching around career, finances, or life purpose can also work with her to map small, achievable actions.
