About Lora
Lora Newman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also blends mental fitness and leadership coaching into her work to support practical goals like time management and workplace challenges. Lora practices in Missouri and communicates in English.
Her sessions are warm, direct, and interactive. She focuses on what is happening now and helps clients move past blocks that get in the way of daily functioning or work performance.
Background and approach
Lora uses a mix of counseling and coaching tools tailored to each person’s needs. She often combines talk-based approaches with EMDR, which can help when past events keep affecting current life. Lora also uses mindfulness practices to build calm and concentration in stressful moments.
Her goal is to create clear, manageable steps clients can try between meetings. Lora works with concerns such as relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career questions, money stress, and finding life purpose. She also addresses control issues and family of origin topics when they come up as part of a client’s story.
Sessions are solution-oriented but grounded in each person’s values and choices. Lora aims to support and empower clients so they can face rough patches with practical strategies and steady guidance.
Online approaches that fit real life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person where they are. It helps clients feel heard and supported so they can make choices that match their values and goals. Existential Therapy looks at questions about purpose, meaning, and responsibility, useful when someone is rethinking career direction or life priorities.EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a targeted method used to reduce the ongoing impact of distressing memories. It can be helpful for people who find past events keep disrupting work or relationships. Mindfulness techniques are often added to teach simple ways to lower stress and improve focus during busy days.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lora will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She mixes counseling and coaching tools and adjusts the plan based on how things are going.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a workweek or to continue progress while traveling. The variety also lets clients pick what feels most useful for check-ins, practical coaching, or EMDR work.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
