About Lori
Lori Rolf is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW in California and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - LICSW in Minnesota with 18 years of experience. She sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues such as eating problems, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also focuses on women's issues and supports people facing career pressures or compassion fatigue.
Lori uses straightforward, skills-based methods so clients learn tools they can use between sessions. She often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thinking patterns, emotion regulation, and behavior change. She also uses Client-Centered and Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people clarify goals and find internal motivation.
Sessions begin with practical goals and a simple plan. Lori works with each person to identify what matters most and which skills to practice first. Conversations can include strategies for stress management, managing cravings, improving sleep, setting boundaries, and sorting out relationship patterns.
She pays attention to how everyday life shapes mental health - work demands, family responsibilities, finances, and community pressures. That means setting realistic steps that fit a person's schedule and obligations. Progress is tracked in small, measurable ways so changes feel doable.
Lori offers direct, grounded support rather than abstract talk. She helps people build coping skills, make clearer choices, and reduce daily overwhelm. To begin, readers are asked to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. It supports people by exploring values, preferences, and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when strong emotions or relationship conflicts interfere with daily life.Choosing a method is collaborative. Lori will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a skills-based plan for several weeks, then adjusting based on what works and what doesn't.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need for travel. It also lets people practice new skills in their everyday environment and bring real-life situations into sessions for problem-solving. Ask about session length and format when you schedule a first meeting so the plan fits your routine.
