About Lora
Dr. Lora Horowitz helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia and brings five years of clinical experience to each session.
People come for help with depression, panic, trauma, burnout, or struggles with self-esteem and ADHD concerns. She speaks English and offers sessions in several online formats. Her approach centers on listening first and building practical skills second.
How Lora works
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to gently test unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are woven in to help people tolerate strong emotions without getting stuck. She also incorporates client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the individual.
In sessions she teaches hands-on techniques for managing anxiety, improving sleep, handling panic, and reducing rumination. She also helps people work through grief, guilt, and relationship communication problems. For those affected by trauma, she emphasizes pacing and safety while addressing symptoms like hyperarousal and avoidance.
Dr. Horowitz blends problem-solving therapy with emotion regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy when needed. She pays attention to practical barriers such as fatigue, time constraints, and changing family roles.
Her work aims to leave people with clear strategies they can use between sessions. Therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions operate through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies by location and therapist availability.

Online support options
Approach and online care that fit your life
Dr. Horowitz uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate their behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a method that breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce panic, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to build awareness of the present moment and to reduce reactivity to stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to match methods to your goals, preferences, and daily demands. Together they might try an approach for a few sessions and adjust it based on what helps most, aiming for clear, usable strategies rather than abstract theory.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions let you practice skills in real time, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, live chat supports shorter exchanges during a busy day, and text messaging can be used for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or irregular schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
