About Lani

Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles. She practices online from Utah and draws on 17 years of counseling experience to guide people through difficult life changes and everyday challenges. Her approach is warm and straightforward so clients can talk through what matters most to them.

Lani uses a blend of therapies chosen to match each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps set clear goals. Sessions include practical skills, reflective conversation, and tasks to practice between meetings. She asks clients to engage in work outside sessions so progress continues between appointments. <brHer style is focused on collaboration and responsibility.

She encourages people to learn about themselves and take small steps toward the life they want. Sessions aim to be approachable and down-to-earth rather than overly technical. Lani draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s perspective and attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Her work often covers grief, addiction concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and career stress. She also supports people coping with ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, anger, and intimacy issues.

Lani focuses on practical change while also exploring deeper meaning and life direction.

Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, empty, or unsure about life direction to clarify values and make intentional decisions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with painful experiences.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how earlier relationship experiences shape current patterns with others. It can help people improve communication, reduce reactivity, and build more supported ways of relating.

Lani approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. She will help clients try different ways of working and decide what fits best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That process includes regular check-ins and adjustments to the plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access. Video calls let people use visual cues and feel more connected, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are handy for quick check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
