About Lori
Lori Houppert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people handle anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting stress. She practices from New York and brings 12 years of counseling experience to her work. Lori aims to make the first step toward help feel less overwhelming and more doable for someone who is worried or exhausted.
She keeps sessions warm and inviting. Conversations focus on what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Lori listens first, then helps set clear goals and practical steps to move forward. Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused methods. That means she pays attention to how a person experiences their life while also teaching ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
When trauma is involved she uses strategies that address its effects directly. Lori has worked across agencies and in elementary school settings, which gives her experience with many everyday stresses. She regularly supports people coping with grief, relationship strain, career changes, bipolar mood shifts, and compassion fatigue.
She also works with concerns like ADHD, anger, and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy is organized through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on therapist availability.
Approaches that fit your life and schedule
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It gives people room to tell their story while the therapist reflects, clarifies, and helps identify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a compassionate space to make sense of stress, grief, or relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thought patterns and building new habits. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by offering practical tools to use between sessions.
Trauma-focused methods address the impact of past hurt and aim to reduce its hold on daily life. These techniques target symptoms that come from traumatic events and work on safe ways to process difficult memories and reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust plans as you go. Together you set short-term goals and check progress so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is close to an in-person conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or camera use feels difficult. Chat and messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or family schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
