About Lora

Lora DeVore-Matz is a Minnesota-based Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 38 years of professional experience helping people make lasting changes in their lives. She brings long-standing clinical experience to work with addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and executive coaching for professionals seeking greater balance and effectiveness. Lora also draws on her experience with professional coaching to support clients who want practical strategies for confidence, goal attainment, and improved communication.

Lora approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs of the individual. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, matching goals with appropriate interventions and adjusting the plan as progress is made. Her practice emphasizes empowerment, encouraging clients to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Lora uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that blend practical, skills-oriented work with deeper processing when needed. One common approach focuses on building concrete coping skills and healthier habits - this involves step-by-step strategies to manage cravings, regulate emotions, and strengthen confidence, which is useful for addictions, motivation, and self-esteem concerns. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed processing and attachment-focused work - this helps people make sense of past hurts, improve relationship patterns, and reduce the impact of trauma on daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lora collaborates with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors plans over time, combining skill-building and exploratory work to align with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access care from home, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with a licensed professional who guides the process.
