About Lori
Dr. Lori Dougherty is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Colorado. She brings ten years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, grief, and self esteem issues. She aims to build a strong working relationship and to help clients find practical ways forward.
Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring strategies to each person's goals. She uses client-centered work to understand what matters most to the individual. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills support emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Dr. Dougherty also incorporates mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment focus. For trauma-related concerns she uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, which is one of several tools she may draw on when appropriate. Motivational interviewing informs how she helps people find motivation for change, especially with substance use and habit-related issues.
Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical steps. The therapist works with clients to set achievable goals and to practice new skills between meetings. Her style is direct but warm, aiming to help clients uncover strengths and build lasting coping strategies.
People interested in starting work are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Work is offered in English and the practice does not accept international clients at this time.
