Lani Ete
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I began my college education, located in a humble community of Laie, Hawaii where I was raised until the age of 21. After leaving my hometown, I completed my remaining undergraduate degree in psychology through distance learning and later earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2007 from the University of Phoenix. I currently practice via online telehealth only and have done so since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. My therapy approach is eclectic, meaning I combine different therapeutic approaches based on the presenting concerns and goals that are adapted to the needs of the person via the use of cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, brief therapy and solution-focused therapy with particular attention to the psychoanalytic processes, which emphasizes how life events and relationship experiences both past and present may be affecting your current relationships, issues and/or circumstances. What I can bring to the counseling environment to help you with this is a style that I believe to be approachable and warm so that my patients are able to 1) actively process and explore, 2) find their way, 3) learn about themselves and 4) grow to be directors of their life. In short, to help you have the most successful experience in counseling it is important to me that we work together in establishing what your needs are and how I can be of most benefit to you. With that comes responsibility for your mental health and dedication of your time to your mental health needs. To be more specific, I ask that you not just do therapy sessions once a week for 30-45 minutes but that also be proactive and committed with working on your mental health needs outside of therapy as well via homework that is completed in a timely manner as opposed to completing it right before your sessions as I need time to look over said homework and cannot do this effectively when it is sent back the day of. I am genuinely interested in what brings you to therapy and hope that you would feel comfortable working with me as I look forward to working with you. Lani

Tucker Reynolds
ACT-Based Therapy for Stress, Trauma & High-Pressure Lives If you’re carrying stress, anger, pressure, or responsibility that no one else sees — you’re not alone. Many high-functioning adults learn to push through anxiety, trauma, burnout, or depression without slowing down. Over time, that strategy stops working. I’m Tucker, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in Utah. I work primarily with adults navigating chronic stress, trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life transitions. As a combat veteran, I understand high-pressure environments and the cost of staying in “performance mode” too long. My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and trauma-informed care. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility — the ability to face difficult thoughts and emotions without being controlled by them. We don’t pretend pain isn’t there. We work on strengthening your capacity to handle it while moving forward with intention. In therapy, we focus on: • Reducing overthinking and emotional reactivity • Managing anger and stress effectively • Breaking avoidance patterns • Clarifying personal values • Taking disciplined, values-based action My style is steady, direct, and practical. We address what’s underneath the surface without losing focus on forward movement. Therapy is collaborative, structured, and geared toward measurable progress. I am nationally board-certified (NCC, CCMHC) and trained in CAMS for suicide risk assessment and management. If you’re looking for grounded, honest work that builds resilience without ignoring reality, I’d be glad to work with you.

I also work extensively with individuals impacted by addition and betrayal trauma. My approach is grounded in compassion, safety, and curiosity about the “why” behind thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. I believe that awareness paired with intention creates meaningful and lasting change. Much of my work focuses on helping clients understand how trauma shapes the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self, while building tools for emotional regulation, boundaries, and resilience. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodrama, lifespan integration, and existential frameworks. Therapy is a collaborative and tailored to your unique goals, strengths, and history. Seeking therapy takes courage. I strive to offer a supportive space where healing, insight, and growth can happen.
