Lori Santa Maria, Counselor in Training (CIT)
My Specialties
My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and major life transitions, such as divorce, job loss, identity loss, and mid-life changes. I am passionate about creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, identify strengths, and work toward a fulfilling and empowered life. I look forward to connecting and growing together!
Counseling and Therapy
Currently, I am pursuing Internship hours with expert LPC's in Arizona starting September 11, 2025, to complete my Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. Check back soon to see my counseling location.
My Approach
My counseling style is genuine, transparent, thoughtful, evidence-based, and motivational. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs. My practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy (NT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). These frameworks allow me to help individuals build resilience, gain clarity, and work toward meaningful personal development.
