Does This Sound Like You?

You’re managing work or school, family, medical appointments, medications, symptoms, insurance paperwork, and treatment plans. From the outside, you look like you're "doing fine," but inside it’s constant tension. Panic spikes without warning, sleep is rough, and old memories (or blank spots) keep you on edge. Maybe neurodivergence adds another layer, and relationships feel harder than they should.

You’ve tried to push through. Now you want tools that actually help your body settle, and space to untangle what happened so you can move forward as yourself.

How therapy helps

We’ll slow things down, make sense of what your nervous system is doing, and build skills that work in real life while we process the roots.

In therapy, we will:

Reduce panic and overwhelm so your mind can rest

Understand triggers and patterns from childhood and learn new responses

Build self-soothing skills you can use anywhere (breath, body, thought)

Improve mood, confidence, and follow-through on what matters

Set kinder boundaries with family, friends, and partners

Feel more present, clear, and connected day to day

about lori

Hi, I'm Lori Cyr.

LPC-Associate, founder of True Courage Counseling

I grew up in a small Louisiana town, studied education, and discovered I’m most at home helping people understand themselves. I believe truth and courage are what heal us: noticing what’s really happening inside, and taking the next right step with support.

Many of the clients I work with are adolescents and adults who are navigating complex chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, sometimes obvious, sometimes the “invisible” kind. Anxiety, depression, panic, nightmares, religious pressure, family conflict, or neurodivergence can stack on top of the illness(es) and make life feel chaotic. You may be bright and capable and still wonder, “Why can’t I calm down?”

How I Help

My Therapy Style & Approach

Steady and safe. Calm, non-judgmental, collaborative.

Skills + depth. Coping tools for today while we address root causes.

Body + brain aware. Psychoeducation about your nervous system, gentle exposure to triggers, and practical self-soothing.

Pace that fits you. We go slow enough to stay safe and fast enough to feel progress.
