About Lori

Lori Fitch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience. She began her career after graduating from Chestnut Hill College and has worked across outpatient settings and schools. Lori brings steady, practical care to people facing a wide range of stressors and life shifts.

Her background includes early work with survivors and families affected by the September 11th attacks and ongoing involvement in school crisis response through the Lehigh County Flight Team. She also works as a high school counselor, where she creates mental health programs for students and runs parent supports.

In sessions she blends straightforward methods like cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and mindfulness tools. Lori describes her style as warm, open-minded, and interactive, and she uses a sense of humor to ease tense moments. Expect active listening, clear guidance, and practical next steps.

She has supported people around anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and career stress. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, kink and alternative sex culture topics, and domestic violence recovery.

Lori works in English and accepts international clients. Her approach emphasizes finding what helps each person move forward in everyday life, one small change at a time.

How Lori’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

This therapist often uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused ideas to guide sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and helps people set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people try different actions to change outcomes. Emotionally-focused ideas pay attention to feelings in relationships and aim to improve how people connect and communicate.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their needs and goals. That may mean mixing methods across sessions and adapting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between commitments. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, switch to shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals use these practical options to help therapy fit into everyday routines rather than rearrange a whole schedule.
