About Lori

Lori Houppert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her manner is warm and approachable, which can make reaching out feel less daunting.

With 12 years of clinical experience, she has worked in agency and school settings and with adults who have faced trauma, abuse, loss, and family disruption.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, career shifts, bipolar disorder, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, trauma-focused work, and existential perspectives. Sessions often begin by listening closely to what matters most to the person seeking help and by setting clear, realistic goals for change.

In practice she uses conversations to surface patterns, test new ways of thinking, and try small behavioral changes. Mindfulness tools and trauma-focused methods are used when they fit a person’s needs. The overall aim is to help people feel more in control and more able to handle life's ups and downs.

She works with adult clients and frames therapy as a collaborative process. People who want to get started are guided through an initial matching and scheduling process so they can begin working toward clearer choices and steadier emotional balance.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Existential Therapy helps people think about meaning, choice, and what matters most in life. It can be useful for people facing big transitions, loss, or questions about purpose. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and making sure the person feels heard, which builds trust and helps people try out new ways of solving problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lori will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, achievable steps and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video lets people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can make it easier to keep therapy going between sessions and to share brief updates or reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity when routines change.
