Lori GieselerLCSW

Lori Gieseler is an LCSW who brings 30 years of experience to help people handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She works with adults and couples and often supports people adjusting to major changes or difficult events. Lori writes plainly and invites clients to take practical steps toward feeling better.

Her style is warm and interactive. She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. Lori asks reflective questions to help people notice patterns and make small changes that add up.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Lori also uses techniques from attachment-based work and mindfulness to help people feel more grounded and connected in relationships.

Over three decades she has worked in a variety of settings after earning a Master of Social Work from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Her Louisiana license is LCSW and she practices according to that scope.

Lori aims to tailor each plan to a person's needs rather than use a one-size-fits-all model. She encourages people to begin with a simple conversation about what they want to change and to take small steps toward those goals.

If someone is looking for a practitioner who blends practical thinking skills with a compassionate, person-focused approach, Lori offers that combination and helps people build lasting habits for better days.

Approaches that translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using attachment ideas can help people notice how they connect, respond, and seek support. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration and helps clients set their own goals; that approach fits well with video or phone conversations where the therapist follows the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical tools to change them, which works well for short skills-based exercises in remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what feels most helpful for the person.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy day, avoid travel time, use a shorter check-in when time is tight, or choose audio instead of video if that feels easier. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and conversational work so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
