Lori Stalcar, LPC

Lori Stalcar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who uses practical, skill-based approaches to help people cope with life stressors. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness techniques to address day-to-day problems. Lori writes plainly and focuses on small, usable steps people can try between sessions.

She helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, and low self-esteem. Lori also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship or intimacy concerns, and career or parenting stress. Her background includes work with people experiencing ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady progress. Lori works with each person to spot patterns that get in the way and then practices new ways of thinking and acting. She also uses motivational interviewing to strengthen motivation when change feels hard.

With 19 years of experience, Lori blends practical tools and reflective conversation. That mix can help people manage symptoms and build routines that fit real life. She accepts clients in English and is available to international clients who can join online.

To begin, Lori asks about priorities and what has worked before. From there she and the person set short-term steps and check progress each week. The focus is on simple, achievable changes that add up over time.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and habit changes because it breaks problems into manageable steps.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and a respectful, nonjudgmental stance. It helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals so they can decide which changes matter most.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional coping. It pairs well with skill work when people want tools for staying calmer day to day.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lori collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for longer sessions and practicing skills together, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
