About Lori
Lori Houppert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work and aims to create a warm, welcoming space for people who are nervous about starting therapy. Her style is friendly and supportive.
She listens carefully and tailors conversations to each person's needs. Lori wants sessions to feel approachable and practical, so people leave with clear ideas they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Over her career she has worked with adults dealing with trauma, abuse, loss, and family disruption. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Lori draws on a mix of approaches to address these concerns rather than relying on a single method.
She commonly uses client-centered methods to build trust and focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and develop concrete skills for daily life. Trauma-focused and mindfulness work are added when people need tools to manage painful memories and intense emotions.
Sessions are aimed at practical change while honoring each person’s pace and values. Lori collaborates on treatment plans so goals are clear and realistic. People who prefer straightforward talk and skill-building tend to find her approach helpful.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, person-focused conversation where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's priorities. This approach helps people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk about stress, relationship concerns, or parenting challenges.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and building coping skills that clients can practice between sessions.
Trauma-focused techniques and mindfulness practices offer tools for managing intense memories and strong emotions, such as grounding exercises and breath-based strategies that people can use in everyday moments.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans over time. Clients are involved in deciding what feels most useful and practical for their life.
Online therapy makes these methods more accessible through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging support brief updates, skill practice, and scheduling flexibility. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines.
