About Lori
Dr. Lori Montross helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. She works with adults who are coping with life changes and looking for more balance and meaning. Dr. Montross aims to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can feel heard and begin to try new ways of living.
Her sessions often focus on building practical habits and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and act on those values. Mindfulness practices and client-centered listening are woven into conversations to support clearer thinking and calmer responses.
Dr. Montross brings ten years of experience as a California psychologist. She views therapy as a collaboration and helps people set realistic short-term goals while keeping sight of longer-term direction. Many clients leave with personalized steps they can follow between sessions.
She also addresses issues tied to illness, chronic pain, workplace stress, isolation, and questions about life purpose and forgiveness. These topics are approached in straightforward language, with attention to what feels workable for each person.
Sessions aim to increase self-love, reduce social anxiety, and improve communication patterns so clients can move toward the life they want. The focus is on useful strategies and clear next steps that fit into everyday routines.
