Lori Brax

Lori Brax is a licensed social worker in Kansas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. She approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and a calm presence to make it easier to talk about hard things. Lori keeps language plain and practical so parents and caregivers can follow along on a phone or during a short break.

She focuses on what matters most to each person and tailors conversations and plans to fit real life. Lori uses straightforward problem-solving and skill-building to improve confidence, motivation, sleep, and everyday coping. She also offers support for challenges such as addiction, ADHD, depression, bipolar concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Lori has 12 years of experience as an LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker - practicing in Kansas. Over that time she has worked with people facing major life changes, caregiving stress, end-of-life concerns, hoarding, and isolation. Her practice includes attention to sexual assault recovery and issues facing LGBT clients.

In sessions she will help set clear goals and try out practical tools like cognitive strategies and behavior changes. Parents and caregivers will find a direct, compassionate tone and an emphasis on usable steps. Starting therapy is framed as a gradual process, and Lori supports each person at their own pace.

To begin, she asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a session based on availability.

How CBT and practical work translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and coping with life transitions by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.

When used online, CBT techniques can be taught verbally, practiced with worksheets, and reviewed together during a session. Lori emphasizes simple skill-building and clear goals so exercises fit into everyday routines and caregiving responsibilities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lori will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she will adjust pacing and tools as needs change over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. Licensed professionals can guide clients on which session style will best support homework, skill practice, and steady progress.
