As an individual who has experienced personal trauma, depression, and anxiety, I have an authentic understanding of how the impact of life circumstances and navigating a new sense of self can be challenging.
Hello! My name is Lorin Dunston. I currently hold my LCSW and CADC, and I'm in the process of finishing my PhD. I typically work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, PTSD, grief, bipolar disorder, and more. I enjoy helping individuals find a new sense of self, love themselves fully, discover new coping skills, and navigate postpartum challenges.
I enjoy working in an informal setting — think of our sessions as talking to your best friend who can never tell your secrets. We'll use modalities like CBT, DBT, grief therapy, and interpersonal therapy. I like to first focus on getting comfortable with each other, creating goals, identifying what may be hard to discuss, and moving forward with growth.
I look forward to working with each and every one of you. I prefer working with ages 10 and above, but I'm always open to a new challenge. Feel free to schedule with me and let's work things out together!
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Evergreen Park, IL usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Evergreen Park, IL offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Family life isn’t easy—while our family ties are often the first and closest relationships that we share with others, they can be complicated and harmful when dynamics turn negative.
