About Lori
Lori Gieseler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Louisiana with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and couples on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Lori also focuses on issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and grief-related concerns.
Her approach centers on practical conversation and clear strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods that keep the client's priorities central during sessions.
Lori applies attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships continue to affect current patterns. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance strategies when needed. Sessions typically involve reflective questions and concrete tools to try between meetings.
She has worked across settings with adolescents, adults, and couples, and brings experience helping spouses of sex addicts and people adjusting to major life changes. Her style is interactive and focused on practical steps people can use in day-to-day life.
Clients can expect conversations aimed at changing reactions to stressful events and improving communication. Lori helps people identify small, doable changes and practice new ways of responding to old problems. To begin, people are asked to complete a short match questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Lori’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns that come from earlier relationships and how they affect current connections. Online sessions can explore those patterns through discussion and by practicing different ways of relating to others in everyday situations.Client-centered work emphasizes the person's priorities and perspective. In remote sessions that means the therapist follows the client's concerns, asks reflective questions, and supports the client's own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify thought patterns and try behavioral experiments; those exercises can be assigned between sessions and reviewed online.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lori will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. That may mean blending attachment ideas, CBT exercises, DBT skills, and mindfulness practices as appropriate.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work, caregiving, and daily routines, and they work well for regular skill practice and brief check-ins. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your needs.
