About Lori
Lori Houppert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She aims to make therapy approachable and calm for people who feel overwhelmed. Her manner is warm and supportive, and she focuses on listening first so clients feel heard.
She brings 12 years of counseling experience to individual work. Much of that time was spent addressing trauma, abuse, loss, and family disruption. She also helps people managing depression, anxiety, bipolar concerns, stress, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
How Lori works
In sessions she combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with trauma-focused and mindfulness approaches. That means she centers the conversation on each person, then adds concrete skills for thinking and coping. She tailors sessions so they fit a person’s life and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
People can expect practical tools alongside time to talk about painful experiences. Lori helps with parenting worries, relationship strain, career transitions, and coping with major life changes. Her style aims to be both encouraging and realistic.
She works with adults and structures care around what each person needs. Lori uses a mix of talking, skill-building, and mindfulness exercises to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Her goal is to help people move toward steadier moods and clearer decisions.

Online support options
How Lori’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. Online sessions use that same focus, allowing space for people to tell their story and set the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over video or messaging. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic events through paced work and grounding skills that can be taught online.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That shared planning helps shape session content and which formats will work best for specific issues.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and slide into skill practice. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit support into busy days. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
