Lori Stalcar

Lori Stalcar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She brings 19 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and major life changes. Lori focuses on practical strategies and steady support so clients can make manageable progress. Her sessions are client-centered and built around what matters to each person. Lori uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and develop different responses. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with emotion regulation and stress, and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Many people come for help with relationships, self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, or work stress. Lori also addresses concerns such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues connected to autism and Asperger syndrome. She helps people talk through attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, and blended family dynamics. Lori’s style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens, asks practical questions, and suggests small, doable steps clients can try between sessions. Progress is measured by what feels different in daily life, not by jargon. For someone weighing therapy, Lori encourages a first discussion about goals and priorities. That conversation helps shape a clear plan for sessions and realistic steps toward those goals.

How Lori’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. It prioritizes listening, understanding, and shaping sessions around what the client says matters most. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and general life stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, addictions, and managing mood symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices for noticing thoughts and sensations without getting swept away by them. It can reduce reactivity and improve focus, which helps with stress, emotional ups and downs, and compassion fatigue. Finding the right approach is a team effort. Lori will work with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, preferences, and what’s been helpful in the past. Sessions can change over time as needs evolve. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes sessions accessible for people who live far from a counselor or who need to work around a tight schedule.
