Meet Dr. Lori Runge: Your Guide to Mindful Living

Dr. Lori Runge, licensed couples and relationship therapist in Plano, Texas and serving the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metro area with services for individual, couples, marriage and family therapy and counseling.

Guiding You to Present-Moment Living

When was the last time you felt truly at peace with yourself and the world around you? As a licensed therapist in North Texas specializing in mindfulness-based counseling, I'm curious about your journey. Did you know that between 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts race through your mind each day? With this constant mental chatter and endless to-do lists, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected from what matters most.

Through compassionate therapy and couples counseling in McKinney, Frisco, and Plano, I help individuals and couples transform their relationship with these thoughts. By shifting from constant "doing" to conscious "being," you'll discover how to unlock greater productivity, energy, and creativity while creating space for healing and growth.

I believe you are the expert of your own journey. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, communication issues, or life transitions, my role is to provide gentle guidance and evidence-based tools. My passion lies in helping clients cultivate self-love, awareness, acceptance, and forgiveness—the fundamental keys to living an authentic and joyful life.

Rather than being carried away by the stream of mental chatter, you'll learn to observe your thoughts with curiosity and compassion, choosing which ones to engage with and which to let pass by. Through mindfulness-based therapy, you can free yourself from dwelling in the past or worrying about the future, allowing you to fully embrace each present moment.

Together, we'll create a path that leads to the peaceful, purposeful life you envision. If you're ready to explore how mindfulness-based therapy can support your growth and healing, I'm here to walk beside you on this path.
