Lori Fitch is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 24 years of clinical experience. She brings a long history of outpatient work and school counseling to each session.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns and try small behavior changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when relationship and attachment concerns are central.
Her background includes early crisis response work following the September 11th attacks and ongoing involvement in school-based crisis teams. That experience informs her approach to coping after traumatic events and other sudden life changes. She also works with grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and issues related to sexual identity.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and interactive. Clients can expect active listening, clear feedback, and concrete next steps between meetings. Lori describes herself as warm, open-minded, and nonjudgmental, and she often uses a sense of humor where appropriate.
She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when helpful. These methods can support attention, motivation, and managing intense feelings. Lori welcomes people who want practical strategies paired with thoughtful emotional work.

CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes after a disaster.
