Lori Hancock-Muck, LMHC — Therapist in Iowa

Hi there, I'm Lori!

I believe in building collaborative relationships with clients, focusing on cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques. I will work with you to identify your strengths, help you overcome obstacles, and set achievable goals to foster resiliency and improve overall well-being.

My focus

Someone who is open to self-exploration and willing to engage in the therapeutic process with a genuine desire for personal growth and healing.

My approach

I will meet you where you are as I want to assist you in achieving your goals. I will create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your emotions, challenges, and goals.

My communication style

Communication that fosters trust, respect, and understanding. I create a space where you can feel validated and supported while also encouraging self-reflection and growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a strong passion for helping others. I want to be able to make a positive impact on people's lives, especially for those who have emotional or psychological challenges.

My goals for you

By collaborating with you and providing an environment that supports personal growth, emotional healing, and overall well-being. I establish clear, collaborative goals; develop SMART goals; offer support and encouragement; and teach coping skills and techniques.

Our first session

During the first session, we focus on establishing a foundation for the therapeutic relationship. I explore what your needs, challenges, and goals are. My primary focus is to offer a non-judgmental, safe space for you to share what you may be struggling with and to empower you to find a pathway to being the best version of you.
