Lori Mcdunn, LPC-MHSP

Lori Mcdunn is a licensed professional counselor with a decade of clinical experience. She holds an LPC-MHSP credential and brings a calm, straightforward manner to sessions. Lori focuses on helping people move past traumatic events and manage relationship and mood concerns so they can feel steadier day to day.

She draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match the person in front of her. Lori often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that align with their values. She also incorporates client-centered skills to make sure each person feels heard and respected during the work.

Lori has worked with adults and children, couples, servicemembers, and people who identify as LGBTQAI. Her practice commonly addresses trauma and abuse, religious trauma, sexual assault survivorship, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, intimacy concerns, and parenting stress. She also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.

In sessions she listens for strengths and practical steps. Conversations tend to focus on clear coping skills, communication strategies, and small behavior changes that add up. Lori encourages people to try tools between sessions and then review what helped or didn’t.

People who come to her say they want relief from shame, better relationships, or steadier moods. She works to create an atmosphere where those goals are addressed directly and with patience. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches that shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take meaningful action toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, teaching practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel understood as they work through hard topics.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Lori will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative exploration can include trying a tool for a few weeks and then reviewing whether it helped.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try a few different therapeutic tools between meetings and then return to session to troubleshoot what did or didn’t work.
