About Lora
Lora Newman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience who blends counseling and business leadership coaching.

She uses a warm, direct, and interactive style in sessions. Lora frames each visit around the issues the person brings that day and helps set steps people can try between sessions. She also offers performance EMDR and Equine Assisted Learning as tools she uses with business owners and leaders to address barriers to better results.
Clients commonly talk with her about anxiety, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, and workplace issues. She also addresses specific focuses like control issues, family of origin patterns, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, and money-related stress. Sessions are meant to help people make tangible changes in how they manage work and wellbeing.
In practice she mixes counseling with coaching methods when useful, keeping conversations practical and goal-oriented. People who prefer straightforward feedback and collaborative planning often find this approach helpful. Lora works from Missouri and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work and wellbeing
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening-based approach. The therapist focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and helping them find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress and self-esteem concerns.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life. In practice it can help people who struggle with trauma, performance blocks, and repeated reactions that interfere with work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check the booking details to confirm which session formats are currently offered. Many people choose remote sessions because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins around work breaks. Others prefer in-person options when those are available; confirm the choices before scheduling so sessions match daily routines.
