About Lori
Lori Houppert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York. She has 12 years of experience and focuses on helping people who are coping with trauma, grief, stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and other life changes. Her manner is warm and approachable, and she aims to make the first steps toward help feel less overwhelming.
Lori draws on a mix of practical therapies in her work. She uses client-centered methods to build trust and listen closely to each person's concerns.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Trauma-focused and mindfulness approaches are used when people need tools for processing painful memories and staying present. She has worked in agency settings and in elementary schools, and brings that variety of experience to sessions.
Lori has supported people dealing with parenting strain, career shifts, ADHD, OCD, relationship struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with adults and people over the age of five. In sessions she focuses on clear, achievable goals.
Conversations are practical and geared toward everyday situations. Lori helps people develop coping strategies, build self-esteem, and manage strong emotions like anger. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then shapes a plan that fits each person's needs and pace.
Lori encourages steady progress and offers supportive feedback as people try new skills and habits.

How Lori’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy starts by listening and making space for each person's story. Online sessions let Lori follow the client's lead, offer validation, and build a working plan together. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, understanding presence while they talk through difficult experiences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions Lori uses practical exercises and simple behavioral experiments that people can try between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or shift unhelpful patterns.
Trauma-focused and mindfulness work help people process painful memories and learn grounding skills. Mindfulness exercises and trauma-informed pacing can be taught over video or phone so clients learn calming techniques they can use in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lori collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan when something isn't helping.
Online formats provide real flexibility. Video calls are good for deeper dialogue and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coping strategies, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
