About Lani
Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience based in Utah. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family of origin issues, addiction, grief, and changes in life circumstances. Sessions focus on helping people understand how past relationship experiences affect current problems and interactions.
Lani trained with an undergraduate degree in psychology and completed a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2007. She shifted to online practice at the start of the COVID pandemic and continues to provide services via telehealth. She works in English and accepts international clients.
Her approach mixes several methods to fit the concern at hand. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior, client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s perspective, and elements of acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. Attachment-based ideas are part of how she looks at long-standing relationship patterns.
In sessions she expects active involvement. She asks clients to do work between meetings and to bring reflections and assignments back on time so she can review them. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward clearer decision making and better regulation of strong emotions.
People who come for help can expect practical conversation about current problems and their origins. The focus is on identifying repeated family patterns, improving communication, managing distress, and helping people make concrete changes in day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take steps that reflect their values. It is often used when someone wants clearer direction despite ongoing anxiety or avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication. It can help people who want to understand repeated family roles and closeness patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person’s goals, concerns, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and can shift focus as needed based on progress and feedback.
The biography states that practice is provided via online telehealth, so confirm current session options before booking to understand formats and scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove the need to travel. Therapists can assign exercises between meetings and review homework electronically to keep momentum between sessions.
