About Lori
Lori Cline is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Lori also lists life purpose among her areas of focus and works with issues that arise around midlife shifts and workplace strain.
She approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective and uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and helps them test small changes that fit their daily life. Conversations aim to clarify immediate problems and build reliable ways to manage mood and stress.
Lori draws on techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when emotion regulation or motivation is a core concern. That can mean learning specific skills for handling intense feelings, or breaking down goals into manageable steps. These approaches are used to address grief, caregiver stress, blended family tensions, guilt, and communication problems.
Sessions emphasize straightforward, usable strategies rather than abstract theories. Lori treats people as partners in the work and helps them notice strengths they already have. Over time the focus is on concrete changes that reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning.
Her practice serves adults in Minnesota and conversations are held in English. People interested in beginning a course of sessions are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to discuss goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Lori uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and perspective. That approach means conversations start with what matters most to the client and build on existing strengths to address current problems.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another common tool she draws on. CBT involves noticing thought and behavior patterns that keep stress or low mood in place and trying small, practical experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life, adjusting techniques as needs evolve rather than assuming one single model up front.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Discussing format choices at the first appointment helps ensure sessions suit practical needs and session goals.
