Lori Featheringill Timberlake, LMHC

Lori Featheringill Timberlake is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and grief. Lori aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where clients can begin to make small, practical changes.

Her style is straightforward and adaptable. She listens first, then builds a plan that fits each person's needs. Conversations focus on real-life steps - coping strategies, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and practical skills to manage strong emotions.

Lori uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and solution-focused methods to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client. These tools are used in ways that match each person’s goals and pace.

She has worked across a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties like jealousy and communication problems. Lori also supports people navigating adoption, foster care issues, blended family stress, body image, and end-of-life concerns.

Clients can expect a compassionate guide who encourages doable changes. Lori emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving while treating everyone with sensitivity and respect.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them, and then clarify what matters so they can take committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then trying practical experiments to change them; this approach often helps with panic, mood, obsessive thoughts, and low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which works well alongside CBT and ACT for stress and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She focuses on clear goals, practical steps, and pacing that feels manageable for the client.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and support regular check-ins. It also allows for shorter follow-ups or longer problem-solving sessions depending on what a client needs. Ask about available scheduling and session length when you set up the first appointment.
