Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person's immediate needs and goals. Lora uses counseling and coaching techniques that include Client-Centered approaches, Mindfulness practices, and EMDR work when appropriate. She offers performance-focused EMDR and draws on her coaching background to address blocks that affect work and leadership.
The emphasis is on concrete changes clients can notice in daily life. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Conversations are interactive and aim to build skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and making clearer choices.
She often blends practical tools with reflective work to help clients move forward. Lora practices in Missouri and conducts sessions in English. People connect with her for help with coping, career concerns, trauma and abuse recovery, and to develop healthier habits around money and self-worth.
She frames therapy as a partnership to support real-world change.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions through empathetic, nonjudgmental support. This approach can help with anxiety, self-esteem, and life decisions.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories. In practice it may involve guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation while talking through a difficult memory. Many people try it for trauma, abuse recovery, or performance blocks that interfere with work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. That helps decide whether Client-Centered conversations, EMDR, mindfulness practices, or a combination will fit best for each person.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let the therapist and client read expressions and talk in depth. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or follow-up between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to continue work even when in-person meetings are not practical.
