Lori Gottlieb's biography

At a glance

  • Psychotherapist and bestselling author
  • TED Talk top ten most watched speaker
  • New York Times advice columnist
Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist and author who helps people identify and rewrite the personal narratives that keep them stuck in unhealthy patterns. Her book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone has sold over two million copies and is currently being adapted for television. Her TED talk ranked among the Top 10 Most Watched of the Year, and she writes the weekly "Ask the Therapist" column at The New York Times. Gottlieb draws on years of clinical practice and her own experience as a therapy patient to show how the stories we tell ourselves shape our relationships, careers, and emotional health. She offers practical frameworks for recognizing when those stories no longer serve us and concrete steps for building new ones that do. Audiences leave her sessions with a clearer understanding of how narrative patterns drive behavior, tools for reframing setbacks as turning points, and permission to treat vulnerability as a source of strength rather than a liability. Her approach is grounded in real clinical outcomes, not abstract theory. Book Lori to give your audience the language and tools to transform how they relate to their own lives.

Why we recommend booking Lori

Gottlieb brings clinical frameworks from two decades of practice and a bestselling book to help teams reframe the narratives that limit performance and resilience. Her work translates directly into how people handle setbacks, navigate change, and build psychological flexibility under pressure.
