About Lora

Lora Casteline is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience in mental health and substance use work.

Background and approach

She has focused much of her career on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief, bringing long-term clinical experience to each therapeutic relationship. Lora emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings as part of moving toward a more fulfilling life.

Her approach blends evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address issues like depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, anger, and career-related struggles. Lora also attends to overlapping concerns including codependency, family of origin issues, substance use, and post-traumatic stress.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process, supporting clients through life transitions, coping strategies, and efforts to reduce harmful habits while honoring each person’s goals and pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through structured exercises and practical skills work; it is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. DBT combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive or self-damaging behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge, with client feedback guiding the selection and pacing of interventions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and daily responsibilities. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver the same core approaches and practical skills work used in person while accommodating scheduling needs and geographic distance.
