She is an incredible woman. she's very knowledgeable, respectful and all around great. I have at least 30 years of counseling and she is by far the best one I've ever had. I am so blessed to have been paired with her and know a lot of people would benefit from her experience, openness and intuitiveness.

I have been searching for years for a therapist that was a good fit. After my psychiatrist retired, I had multiple failed attempts, so it was such a relief to finally find Lora. Our first meeting went over time, but she didn't cut me off. I felt valued and understood right away. She came into our second meeting with information that was spot on with me, so I was impressed that she gathered so much about me after such a short time. I am so encouraged that I have found the therapist for me and look forward to moving forward with Lora.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
