About Lani Ete
Lani Ete is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who grew up in a small town in Hawaii and lived there until age 21. She completed an undergraduate degree in psychology through distance learning and earned a Master of Mental Health Counseling in 2007 from the University of Phoenix. Since the start of the COVID pandemic she has practiced exclusively via online telehealth.
Lani uses an eclectic therapeutic approach, blending cognitive-behavioral techniques, person-centered methods, brief therapy, and solution-focused work while attending to psychoanalytic processes that explore how past and present life events and relationship experiences may shape current challenges. Her practice adapts to each person’s presenting concerns and goals, drawing together methods that fit the situation rather than relying on a single model.
Her counseling style is warm and approachable, intended to help clients actively process and explore their experiences, discover new directions, deepen self-understanding, and move toward being directors of their own lives. Lani emphasizes collaboration in establishing treatment needs and ways she can be most helpful. She asks clients to take responsibility for their mental health by committing time and effort outside of sessions, including completing assigned work in a timely manner so it can be reviewed before appointments rather than submitted on the day of the session.
Lani is genuinely interested in what brings people to therapy and looks forward to working with those who choose to pursue telehealth counseling with her.
