About Lori

Lori Wenglikowski is a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan who helps adults handle stress, anxiety, trauma, mood changes, and relationship challenges. She uses practical tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Lori focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions.

She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and emphasizes a collaborative, down-to-earth style. Lori listens for patterns in how emotions show up and then helps clients test small changes.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented, with plans adjusted as progress is made. Lori uses several therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

Lori incorporates EMDR methods as one option for processing traumatic memories when it fits a person’s needs. Her practice is described as affirming for LGBTQ+ people and attentive to trauma histories. Lori supports people working through grief, addiction, sleep difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions.

She frames work around building tools that can be used outside sessions. In practical terms, Lori offers a mix of brief skills coaching and longer-term work depending on what each person prefers. She emphasizes collaboration so goals match real-life demands like work, family, or school.

The approach is aimed at steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Online support

How EMDR, CBT, and DBT can be used online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.

DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, focuses on teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can help with intense emotions, anger, and steadying mood instability through concrete skill practice.

EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, offers a method for working with traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation. It is one of the options Lori may use when processing trauma fits a person's goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and then tailor techniques together with the client. That collaborative process helps select whether CBT skills, DBT strategies, EMDR methods, or a mix will be most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and full sessions, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging is helpful for brief check-ins or steady support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while focusing on practical progress.
