About Lori
Lori Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her work also covers concerns such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger, career stress, and ADHD.
She uses clear, practical conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on real-life problems and steps that can be tried between meetings. Lori combines tools from cognitive behavioral approaches with mindfulness and emotion-focused work to address difficult feelings and patterns.
Her background includes long-term work with people who are dealing with family conflict, attachment and abandonment issues, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also has experience with chronic pain, illness, and disability and with recovery from domestic violence.
Lori draws on several well-known therapeutic methods to suit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches. She talks through communication and commitment concerns and helps people test small changes to daily routines and relationships.
Practical matters such as sleep, managing anger, hoarding, forgiveness, and coping after disaster are part of her practice. Lori aims to help people develop tools that fit their daily life and responsibilities, and she works in straightforward, goal-oriented ways.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed actions aligned with those values. It can help when worry, avoidance, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related struggles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses in close relationships and improving how people express and respond to feelings during conflict.Finding which of these methods fits best is part of the work. Lori will help clients decide which approach or combination to try based on their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That choice is made together and can change as needs shift.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and medical appointments. They can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and help keep consistency after a move or during busy periods. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT techniques to remote sessions so people can practice tools between meetings and bring real situations into session work.
