About Lora
LICSW in Minnesota with 38 years of clinical experience, Lora DeVore-Matz helps people address addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and executive coaching. She works with adults who want practical help changing patterns that limit daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress rather than vague promises.
Lora frames work in plain terms. She talks through concrete problems such as communication breakdowns, workplace stress, and motivation. She also addresses deeper issues like attachment, abandonment, and post-traumatic stress that affect how people relate and cope.
Her background spans many care settings over nearly four decades. That experience informs a pragmatic approach that blends therapeutic conversation with coaching skills. She helps people set small, manageable steps and tracks progress across sessions.
People who see her can expect direct discussion of behaviors and beliefs that get in the way. She pays attention to life events such as chronic illness or cancer and how those impact mood, identity, and relationships. She also addresses sexuality and women’s issues when they are relevant to treatment goals.
Lora uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She adapts methods to client needs and preferences rather than following a single formula. If you want clear aims, structured support, and an emphasis on practical change, her approach is oriented to that work.

How evidence-based methods are used in remote sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here mean structured approaches that focus on patterns of thought and behavior. One common strand involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new responses; this helps when anxiety, low self-esteem, or workplace stress get in the way of daily functioning. Another strand addresses trauma-related symptoms by teaching grounding skills, pacing exposure to difficult memories, and building coping strategies for post-traumatic stress and abuse-related reactions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review history, goals, and preferences with the client and adapt methods over time. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize skill-building, coaching strategies, or trauma-focused work for each person. The biography does not specify which session formats she offers. Please confirm the available formats before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that fits a workday. Phone-based sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, while video sessions let the therapist observe nonverbal cues. These practical choices are discussed together so sessions fit everyday life and therapeutic goals.Sheet 3
