About Lora
Lora Casteline is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood conditions while using methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Lora helps people who are facing hard changes and repeated patterns that get in the way of daily life. She addresses problems such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and substance use by working through practical coping skills. Sessions often look at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and what small steps can reduce distress.
Her approach combines skill teaching with direct conversation. She uses CBT to identify and change unhelpful thinking. DBT skills are used for emotion regulation and building tolerance for strong feelings. Mindfulness strategies help slow down racing thoughts and reduce reactivity.
Lora also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits like smoking or substance use. She pays attention to overlapping issues such as codependency, family of origin patterns, and co-morbidity so treatment can address more than one concern at a time.
People who meet with Lora can expect clear goals and practical tools. She works with adults on career stress, anger, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her long experience in mental health and substance use care.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Many of her methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through short practical exercises and homework. This helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing fits best for their goals. That choice can change as needs evolve, and she will check in regularly to adjust the plan.
The site’s booking flow explains how to get started, but confirm current session options before scheduling since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often find remote sessions useful for continuing care, practicing skills between meetings, and keeping therapy consistent with everyday routines.
