About Lani

Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on stress, anxiety, sleep problems, trauma, and relationship concerns. She brings 17 years of clinical experience and a practical, approachable style to sessions. Lani practices in Utah and offers services in English, and she accepts international clients who can access her online practice.

Lani uses an eclectic mix of therapies to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered listening and attachment-focused ideas to look at how past relationships affect current struggles.

Her method is collaborative and task-oriented. Clients can expect clear goals, suggested exercises to try between sessions, and feedback on homework so progress is tracked. She asks people to commit time to work outside sessions so the therapy is more effective over weeks and months.

Lani trained through the University of Phoenix, earning a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2007. Her background includes working remotely since the start of the COVID pandemic, so she is experienced with delivering care online.

People who choose Lani often want straightforward guidance and steady support while they learn new coping skills. She emphasizes helping clients process life events, understand patterns, and make practical changes to improve sleep, mood, and relationships.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and sleep troubles going, using practical exercises and homework. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and intimacy, helping people notice and shift those patterns in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms and then collaborate to choose methods that fit each person. This is an ongoing conversation and can be adjusted as needs change.

The biography indicates an established online practice, but it does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or let someone join from a calmer room. It also supports steady weekly work and follow-up between sessions, which helps when practicing techniques for sleep, anxiety, and coping with stress.
