Lori Wenglikowski

Lori Wenglikowski is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience supporting adults through emotional and life challenges. She practices in Michigan and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and trauma-related difficulties. Lori aims to create an accepting space for people who identify as LGBT and for others seeking understanding and practical tools.

She uses straightforward, skills-based methods to help people cope better day to day. Lori teaches concrete strategies for handling anger, sleep problems, addictive patterns, and low self-esteem. She also helps people navigate career decisions, grief, and changes that come with major life transitions.

Lori blends cognitive behavioral techniques with emotion regulation skills to address thoughts, behaviors, and reactions. For trauma-related work she incorporates approaches designed to process painful memories and reduce their hold on everyday life. Sessions tend to focus on what is doable between meetings so progress continues between sessions.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Lori works with each person to set clear goals and to track small steps of progress. She encourages practical exercises, communication skills, and self-care strategies that fit into busy routines.

If someone wants to start, Lori asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Lori Uses Established Approaches Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to feel and function better. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-oriented method aimed at reducing the impact of painful memories by reprocessing them in a structured way.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Lori will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. Together they choose which methods to try first and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins around work or family schedules. It can also let someone use a shorter session or phone check-in when bandwidth is limited or a full video session is not practical. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
