01About Lora
Dr. Lora Horowitz welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who focuses on helping clients manage mood disorders, trauma, parenting strain, workplace and first responder stress, and related concerns.
Her style aims to make hard conversations feel manageable and practical for everyday life. She draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to notice thought patterns, mindfulness practices to calm the body, and acceptance strategies to clarify values and next steps. She combines these with client-centered listening so people feel heard before goals are set. Dr.
Horowitz has five years of counseling experience across community and clinical settings. That background shapes a practical focus: learning skills you can use between sessions and checking what is actually helping. She also brings experience with issues like postpartum mood changes, panic attacks, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions cover both short-term challenges and longer-term recovery. She helps clients break big problems into small, doable steps and build routines that reduce overwhelm. The tone in the room is direct, respectful, and solution-focused when that fits.
For those coping with loss, trauma, or ongoing stress, she blends grounding exercises with behavioral strategies. Clients work together with her to set goals and measure progress, adjusting the plan as life changes.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often reduces panic, low mood, and stress reactions. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, useful for trauma, anger, and ongoing worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. You and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or a blend depending on symptoms and everyday life demands.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between full sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit into busy routines.
