About Loni
Loni Nolte is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings 14 years of professional experience to her practice.
Background and approach
She draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, grief, and major life changes. Her style emphasizes clear, direct communication while honoring each person’s own knowledge of their life and priorities.
Her work spans a broad range of concerns including parenting challenges, sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and body image, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and coping after abandonment or adoption and foster care experiences. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, cancer-related issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and recovery from natural or human-caused disasters.
Loni aims to combine clinical knowledge with creativity to tailor interventions to individual needs, helping clients build practical tools and resilience to manage ongoing struggles. Practicing in Illinois and offering services in English, she uses a collaborative approach to identify goals and select therapies that match what each person finds most useful.
Her background and varied clinical toolkit allow for flexible treatment planning that adapts as clients progress.
Integrating proven approaches into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which can be effective for mood concerns, anxiety, sleep problems, and coping with addiction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and strengthening emotional processing, which can help with grief, relationship-related distress, and attachment-related issues.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, and then adapt the treatment plan as progress unfolds. This helps ensure the work aligns with what the client finds most meaningful and effective.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, coaching in-the-moment skills, and ongoing support without geographic constraints, making it easier to access consistent care and maintain momentum between sessions.
