About Lori
Lori Wenglikowski is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, mood challenges, and anger. Lori also supports people dealing with stress, addictions, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem issues, career concerns, ADHD, and LGBT-related matters.
She uses clear, practical methods to help people manage overwhelming feelings and frustrating patterns. Sessions focus on learning skills, practicing new responses, and applying those skills to real situations. Lori draws on approaches meant to address both current problems and past events that continue to affect daily life.
Lori’s background includes working with trauma-informed approaches to help people process difficult memories and reactions. She combines techniques that target thoughts and behaviors with skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. This helps when anger is tied to stress, unresolved hurts, or mood fluctuations.
In sessions she aims to be direct and goal-oriented. People can expect guided skill practice, problem-solving around work and relationships, and steps to improve sleep and daily routines. She also addresses identity and minority stress in ways that respect individual experience.
To begin, clients complete an intake process and set clear goals for what they want to change. Lori recommends regular sessions at first, then adjusts frequency as skills take hold and goals are reached.
Approaches used and how online sessions fit into treatment
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anger and mood symptoms.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful when anger flares, when stress feels overwhelming, or when relationships suffer from recurring conflict.
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps some people process traumatic memories that contribute to strong emotional reactions. It is aimed at reducing the intensity of distress tied to past events and related triggers.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review history, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to start with. Sessions can mix techniques so skills work and trauma processing progress together.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use this flexibility to keep consistent appointments and practice skills between sessions.
