About Lori
Lori Parrs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She has worked across different settings and with many backgrounds. Her stated focus includes eating concerns, addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship and family stress. Lori also notes work with body image, self-esteem, and codependency-related struggles.
She commonly sees people dealing with compulsive eating, food and exercise-related issues, and broader addiction concerns. She also addresses mood challenges, grief, and the fallout from abuse or traumatic events. Lori lists parenting stress, career strain, and trouble managing life transitions among the issues she helps people face.
Lori describes an action-oriented style that combines practical strategies with a person-centered approach. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior skills, and mindfulness practices. Sessions tend to focus on what people can do day to day to feel steadier and more able to make choices they want.
Her work involves addressing patterns like people-pleasing, boundary problems, and attachment or abandonment worries. She helps people notice habits that get in the way, try small changes, and build skills for handling stress and difficult emotions. Lori also brings experience helping people who struggle with guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small meaningful actions even when uncomfortable. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and trouble making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with eating concerns, mood, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person’s own goals guide the work and the therapist listens to understand.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lori will help figure out what fits based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and can shift as someone learns what helps them most.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Many people choose online care because it can fit into a workday, reduce travel time, or make it easier to keep regular check-ins. Talk with Lori during the matching process about how sessions can be scheduled to suit your routine and what style of session might be most useful for your concerns.
