About Lora

Lora Newman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience who blends counseling and business leadership coaching. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, career concerns, and the strain that comes with money and workplace issues. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping clients move past barriers so they can function better day to day.

She uses a mix of counseling and coaching techniques in sessions.

Background and approach

Lora draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person’s needs and on mindfulness to help regulate stress. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, as one option for processing trauma and intense emotional memories. Sessions are interactive and straightforward.

Lora is warm but direct, and she works to meet clients where they are. Conversations often include skill-building for time management, communication, and coping during life changes. Her practice also attends to deeper patterns such as family of origin issues, control struggles, and questions about life purpose.

She supports people dealing with trauma, relationship concerns, and the pressures of leadership or business ownership. When coaching is helpful, she combines leadership-focused strategies with counseling tools to remove blocks to performance. Lora aims to empower clients to set realistic goals and practice new habits that fit their daily lives.

Online support

Working with EMDR, client-centered care, and mindfulness online

Lora commonly blends client-centered therapy with mindfulness and EMDR to address stress, trauma, and performance blocks. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her, helping people clarify goals and make choices that fit their values. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety. EMDR uses structured processing to help people work through disturbing memories and the feelings that come with them, often helping trauma-related symptoms feel less intense.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lora will talk with a client about their goals, history, and what feels most comfortable, then try methods that fit those needs. She adapts pacing and techniques so clients can test what helps without being pushed into anything they aren’t ready for.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions that mirror in-person work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep continuity of care when travel or location are obstacles.
