About Lori

Lori Justice is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD. Lori focuses on practical steps people can use to manage hard moments and keep functioning day to day.

Lori treats each person as the expert on their own story. She looks for strengths a person already has and builds on them. Sessions include straightforward conversation about what is causing distress and small, usable strategies to test between meetings.

Her approach emphasizes clear goals and problem solving. People can expect to talk through specific situations, try new ways of responding, and reflect on what helps or gets in the way. Lori keeps explanations direct and avoids jargon so people understand what they are working on.

When family issues or caregiving stress are part of the problem, Lori helps individuals sort through roles and communication patterns. She also addresses concerns linked to attachment, adoption and foster care history, aging, autism spectrum conditions, and chronic illness when they affect daily life.

Lori speaks English and works with adults in Kansas. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time for sessions that vary in cost by location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and on practicing new behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and help people try small changes to see what helps. Behavioral exposure methods involve gradual, supported steps toward feared social situations so reactions can be noticed and adjusted over time.

Another common approach focuses on skill building for everyday functioning. That can include stress management skills, communication practice for difficult family interactions, and behavioral strategies for managing symptoms of ADHD. These techniques are practical and aim to give tools people can use between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and test approaches that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made based on what is useful in real life rather than sticking to a fixed plan.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find video helps with face-to-face conversation while others prefer phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker meeting. Ask about the specific session options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
