About me

Welcome! I am so glad to see you. I have been working with all types of people and hope to work with you soon. I have worked with people of all ages from 6 to 98 over my 6 years of counseling. I graduated from Tarleton State University in Texas with my Masters in Science and received my Licensed in Professional Counseling. I have helped people struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, psychosis, sexual disorders, communication issues, anger management, couples, family therapy, and the list continues. I am not bothered by any topic and listen with a non-judgmental ear. Past clients describe me as "sincere" and someone who "keeps it real" and " very honest".

I primarily work from a perspective of thoughts and choices, looking to empower my clients. I also love to work on mindfulness and working with YOUR own strengths. Most importantly, I work side by side with you to reach YOUR overall goals in YOUR counseling journey.

So, let's get started!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lori Downs. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Lori made me feel comfortable and at ease from our very first video session. Even through a screen, her warmth and compassion come through, and she has a unique way of creating a safe, non-judgmental space. Lori listens carefully and offers thoughtful, insightful guidance that has really helped me navigate challenging times. I always leave our sessions feeling understood and supported. Her professionalism, empathy, and the practical tools she shares have been key to my personal growth. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made with her as my therapist.

Working with Lori has been amazing. She not only listens and understands but gives helpful insight and tools to work through the core issue. She doesn’t project judgment, only understanding and support. I highly recommend Lori for anyone wanting to move through blockers and create positive change.
