Tami Lorne, LMHC

Tami Lorne is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma. Her work also addresses LGBTQ issues, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

She has experience in both facility settings and independent practice, including about three years at an addiction treatment facility where she conducted evaluations in jails to connect people with treatment. That background informs her practical approach to addiction and related problems. She also provides pro bono counseling for combat veterans through a program called Give An Hour.

Tami describes her method as eclectic. She does not rely on a single theory for everyone. Instead she meets each person where they are and chooses techniques that fit that person’s needs and life situation. She emphasizes treating the whole person rather than only labeling a condition.

In sessions she aims to build an open, honest, and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be discussed. She focuses on offering tools clients can use between meetings to gain confidence and make real changes. The goal is to support people in moving forward until they feel they no longer need regular counseling.

She welcomes conversations about goals and what a successful outcome would look like. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider their needs and decide if a collaborative, practical approach feels like a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and how they can help online

Many of the techniques Tami uses come from established, evidence-based approaches that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common technique helps people recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so they can manage anxiety and depression more effectively. Another emphasizes building emotional awareness and skills for managing strong feelings that arise after trauma or during relationship stress. Each approach aims to teach tools you can practice between meetings to improve daily functioning and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tami starts by listening to your concerns and goals, then suggests methods she thinks will fit your needs. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps you make progress and feel more confident in handling life’s challenges.

If you are thinking about online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care when changing routines or locations. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they match your schedule and comfort level.
