Thank you for taking the time out to view my profile. Finding the right therapist to meet your individual needs is a very important step and I am hopeful that I will be able to assist you. I find great passion in assisting my clients in meeting and surpassing their full potential. After I obtained my Bachelors degree in Psychology, I continued my education and received a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am licensed in multiple states, a National Certified Counselor, a Certified Clinical Supervisor, and a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider. I have experience with working with individuals of all ages, ethnicities, races, religions, sexual orientations, and genders. Although I use multiple counseling techniques (Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, etc) in order to meet my client's individual needs, my work with clients is primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy perspective. I believe that the connections between rationality and emotion as well as mind and body are essential in accomplishing behavioral change through logical thinking. Becoming more aware of damaging automatic thoughts and acquiring the ability to revise cognitions impacts one’s behaviors and ultimately may lead to positive change. In addition, I hold a great appreciation for the unconscious and the power it has over one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The intimate process of making the unconscious conscious is a fundamental step toward growth, development, and change. Being able to recognize how unresolved conflicts from the past influence the present and manifests in unhealthy cyclical patterns gives one the power and confidence to take control.​​ It is my belief that therapy is an intense, engaging, rewarding, and collaborative process. One of the main purposes of therapy is for one to gain a deeper understanding of self by exploring personal experiences, perspectives, and expectations. Regardless of the presenting issue, I provide my clients with a high level of respect, honesty, and genuineness. After successful completion of therapy, it is my hope that my clients will be able to incorporate what will be presented throughout therapy sessions into multiple life circumstances.

With that, I am able to customize our work together to meet you where you are and help move you towards your goals. I am proud of you for taking the first step in this journey.

Welcomes to BetterHelp! My name is Malia and I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Colorado and Texas. I am so glad that you made a decision to get support and guidance! Therapy can be a big decision and it requires a lot of trust and vulnerability which is why it is my goal to help you feel safe to share and be yourself. I have been practicing therapy over 12 years and specialize in working with clients on a variety of areas such anxiety, depression, addictions, self esteem, grief, relationship issues, divorce and more. In our sessions, we will focus on the individual needs of each client with compassion, patience, non-judgement and understanding. I am a strength based therapist and focus on helping client’s see that they are resilient and help them work towards a new perspective. As a LMFT, while I no longer work directly with couples or families, I do work individually with clients from a relational model where we focus on how to best support you within your relationships with yourself, your personal life and professional life. We will talk about boundaries, work/life balance, values, and communication to name a few topics. We will focus on your individual needs as they relate to your current challenges and goals and discuss the impact relationship dynamics have on you. What we know is that our daily lives are impacted by those around us in every environment. That brings both a lot of support and also challenges. We will really focus on what you can control within yourself and model healthy behavior to those around you. This work will be about you, it’s for you to be your healthiest, best self. Many other topics outside of therapy can and will be explored as they pertain to you. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Client Centered Therapy, Positive Psychology, IFS tools and other approaches to help find a sense of inner control over thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I am honored you chose me as your provider and if you don't mind, my animals like sitting in on sessions at times. :) I am excited to work with you!

Lori Stalcar, MS, LPC Licensed Professional Counselor Hello and welcome! I am Lori Stalcar, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. I hold a Master of Science degree in Professional Counseling and have over 16 years of experience in the field, working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and addressing a wide range of challenges. Throughout my career, I have utilized evidence-based approaches such as Strengths-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailoring interventions to meet the unique needs of each individual. My goal is to help you explore both the areas that inspire you and those that may feel challenging, while developing practical, effective strategies to achieve lasting growth. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where we can work collaboratively toward your personal goals.

Let's work together to discover the path forward that feels right for you!

I am licensed in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Mexico and Texas with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

The issues I work with in therapy are mind-body issues. I do not have a mental illness approach. What is good for the body is good for the brain and vice versa. My openness and inclusivity influence my approach to therapy. I do not judge. I accept. I am more interested in your uniqueness than your diagnosis and I expect a full recovery in treatment. I fit well with expectations from a person who is here on their own volition, is willing and open to change, and is trying to develop resiliency in life, problem-solving without drama in relationships, and self-respect. I try my best to provide a secure space and collaborate. I take notes and I read them at the end of the session. As opposed to homework, I offer experiments to try between conversations. Depending on preference, I can be direct in helping people identify their goals by collaborating on a treatment plan. I can also be non-direct and identify our goals through the flow of the conversation. A first session with me begins with a casual greeting and formalities regarding confidentiality, rights, and risk assessment questions, followed by a lead-in question to get the ball rolling.

I believe that the things we have been through do not have to be in vain. I became a therapist because I wanted to use my own experiences to help others strive, not only to survive but to thrive after horrendous events. During an internship opportunity in my Master's degree program, I found that I as a survivor, as well as a professional, became incredibly empowered and motivated to embark upon social change. I have seen immense healing in so many areas of my career thus far and it just keeps growing. That was only the beginning of that realization of the potential we all have for healing within. Since this start, my vision has expanded and the experience I’ve gained in treating people with an eclectic approach. I always meet my clients where they are and include them in their treatment as experts on themselves. I’m looking forward to working with you on improving your quality of life!

About Me I help individuals and families navigate trauma, perinatal mental health challenges, anxiety, anger, grief, and life transitions with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to move forward, you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a steady, compassionate space where healing feels possible, growth feels attainable, and meaningful change can take root. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Georgia, Colorado, Utah, and Virginia. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a concentration in Family and Child Services from University of Phoenix and my Master of Social Work from Capella University. In addition to my licensure, I hold the Perinatal Mental Health Certification, am a Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider and Human Services-Board Certified Practitioner through the Center for Credentialing and Education, and maintain credentials as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Certified Grief Specialist. These advanced credentials allow me to provide specialized, clinically sound care while maintaining a deeply compassionate and relational approach. My work is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral strategies, strengths-based interventions, attachment-informed care, and practical emotion-regulation skills. I am particularly passionate about supporting women and parents during the perinatal period, as well as individuals carrying unresolved trauma that continues to impact daily life. I also work with clients who feel they must “hold it all together” for others while quietly struggling themselves. In Our First Session Together, Here’s What You Can Expect In our first session, we focus on building trust and clarity. I will take time to understand your story, your strengths, and what feels most pressing right now. You can expect a structured yet relaxed conversation where you are never rushed or judged. Together, we will identify meaningful goals and outline a path forward that aligns with your values and needs. The Biggest Strengths That I Bring Into Our Sessions Clients often describe my style as compassionate, steady, and empowering. I offer warmth and validation while also gently challenging unhelpful patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Therapy with me is interactive and tailored; I integrate practical tools you can apply between sessions so progress feels tangible and sustainable. Over time, many clients report feeling more emotionally regulated, confident in setting boundaries, clearer in their thinking, and more secure in their relationships. The Clients I’m Best Positioned to Serve I specialize in working with individuals and families navigating trauma, perinatal mental health challenges, anxiety, anger, grief, and major life transitions. Whether you are adjusting to parenthood, coping with loss, managing overwhelming emotions, or seeking greater clarity and balance, therapy can be a powerful step toward healing. My goal is to create a safe, structured, and supportive environment where you can process openly, build resilience, and move forward with greater strength and self-understanding. If you’re ready to take the next step, I welcome you to schedule a session and begin this work together.

Change begins with understanding. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I help individuals identify patterns of thinking and behavior that may be holding them back. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts, build resilience, and foster lasting emotional well-being. You don’t have to navigate life’s difficulties alone—let’s work together toward meaningful change.

When imagining my ideal client, I see individuals from diverse backgrounds—LGBTQ+ youth navigating identity and acceptance, juveniles facing emotional and behavioral challenges during critical developmental years, adults striving for personal growth or healing from past trauma, and men working to overcome stigma around mental health and express vulnerability. Each client brings a unique set of needs: the need to be heard without judgment, to feel safe in their identity, to rebuild trust, and to move toward a more empowered and authentic self. My approach is grounded in existential-phenomenological psychology, which means I focus on understanding each person’s unique lived experience—how they make meaning, face uncertainty, and navigate questions of identity, purpose, and connection. Alongside this foundation, I integrate evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I tailor my approach to meet the needs of each client—whether that’s a teen struggling with identity, an adult working through anxiety or life transitions, someone processing trauma, or a man learning to express emotion in a safe and healthy way.
