About Lani
Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, and addiction. She practices online from Utah and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Lani keeps a warm, approachable style so clients can talk through problems and try new ways of coping.
She blends several therapy methods to match each person’s needs. That can include cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-informed work to look at relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and centered on what the client wants to change. Lani asks for an active commitment to the work. She encourages clients to practice skills outside sessions and to complete short homework tasks in a timely way.
This helps progress stay steady and makes session time more useful. With 17 years of experience, she draws on a variety of approaches rather than a single method. That flexibility lets her adjust tools as problems shift or new goals appear.
She aims to help people learn about themselves and gain more control over daily challenges. People come to her for help with parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep problems, career concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Lani combines direct skill teaching with gentle exploration of past and present relationship experiences to support lasting change.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing concrete skills that change behavior and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past and current relationship patterns affect how someone connects and reacts, which can help with intimacy, trust, and communication.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adjust methods over time so the approach fits the person and the problem rather than forcing a single technique.
Online sessions give practical advantages for many people. Video calls let therapists and clients work face to face when visual cues matter, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, homework check-ins, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
