About the author
Loriann Hoff Oberlin
16 books6 followersLoriann Hoff Oberlin, MS, LCPC is a licensed clinical professional counselor with a private practice on Maryland's Eastern Shore in Talbot County and in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Oberlin is also the author of eleven non-fiction books — from health, relationships, parenting, social and psychological issues to writing and working from home. Her latest is WRITING TO MAKE MONEY: SHORT PROJECTS, which is the first in a new series of books for small business people and writers in the field part-time, full-time or to promote services/products.
She has also written SURVIVING SEPARATION & DIVORCE (a lifestyle book for women) and collaborated on OVERCOMING PASSIVE-AGGRESSION (about hidden anger) as well as THE ANGRY CHILD.
This breadth of material speaks to Ms. Oberlin’s diverse interests and experience she gained as a freelance writer in her first career spanning 20 years. She frequently contributed to national and regional magazines and some newspapers as well.
Having earned her bachelor’s in liberal arts from Westminster College, New Wilmington, PA, Ms. Oberlin lived and worked in Western Pennsylvania before moving to Maryland in 2001.
In 2012, Loriann became a full-time resident of the Eastern Shore, and she's served on the planning committee for the Bay to Ocean Writer's Conference for many years. She was a co-coordinator in 2018.
She’s married, the mother of two young-adult sons, and has the life experience of separation, divorce, single parenthood, remarriage, and stepfamily formation.
In addition, she’s taught many aspiring writers how to achieve their own publishing dreams. Her book WRITING FOR QUICK CASH was used in Barnes & Noble's University boosting enrollment quite a bit. It's a frequent book that when gifted to someone else says "you've got talent." WRITING TO MAKE MONEY, the book series, fills this void as other writing books are now out of print after successful runs.
With her knowledge and research base, Loriann earned her master’s degree in clinical counseling from Johns Hopkins University, and completed the post-master’s program as well.
In 2014, the School of Education at Johns Hopkins University, that subsumes the counseling program, was ranked #1 in the country among graduate schools, according to U.S. News & World Report.
As a therapist, she’s worked in community mental health, at the second busiest hospital emergency department in Maryland, and in a group practice before establishing her own counseling practice.
Many who read her self-help books comment that it helps them to overcome common struggles.
Loriann looks forward to posting reviews of non-fiction that she would feel comfortable recommending to clients and/or readers of parenting and other publications.
Loriann Oberlin also writes contemporary women's fiction under the pen name Lauren Monroe. See Good Reads/Lauren Monroe and her first novel LETTING GO: THE MARYLAND SHORES on this site. The sequel and her second novel was SECOND CHANCES: THE MARYLAND SHORES.
