About Lora
Dr. Lora Horowitz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage anger and related concerns. She focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can notice small changes that add up.
Her style is warm and direct, and she aims to make sessions easy to follow for people who are stressed or overwhelmed. Dr. Horowitz draws on several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are included to help people calm their reactions and be more present in tense moments. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and commit to small actions that matter. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotional regulation and strong reactions make daily life harder.
Sessions emphasize practical skills rather than long theory talks. Over five years she has worked in a variety of counseling settings and with many concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, and depression. Her approach aims to address how feelings, thoughts, and behaviors interact in everyday life.
People who connect with her can expect straightforward guidance, tools to practice between sessions, and an emphasis on what works in real situations. She offers appointments through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How specific methods translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small actions that matter despite difficult feelings. It often focuses on practical steps to move toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete techniques to shift patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss which methods might fit a person’s goals and preferences and will adapt techniques as needed. Clients can expect the plan to change over time based on what helps in real life rather than sticking rigidly to one model.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can work for short check-ins or written reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other busy schedules while still working on skills for anger, stress, and emotional regulation.
