Lyra Hornseth

I’m an LCPC providing outpatient psychotherapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the emotional impact of chronic stress or illness. I work primarily with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and AuDHD, and have a particular interest in helping clients better understand how executive functioning, sensory overwhelm, masking, burnout, and emotional regulation impact daily life, relationships, work, and self-esteem. My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and grounded in the belief that symptoms often develop as adaptive responses to overwhelming experiences, attachment wounds, nervous system dysregulation, or environments that have not supported a person’s needs; not personal failure. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches including: CBT, ACT, DBT, Brainspotting, mindfulness-based interventions, attachment-focused therapy, parts work/IFS-informed approaches, somatic/nervous-system regulation strategies, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I have additional training in couples counseling, and I often incorporate an EFT lens into my individual therapy work to help clients better understand patterns of connection, attachment, emotional vulnerability, communication, and relationship dynamics. I work with many clients who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, burnout, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, or difficulty feeling fully connected in relationships. Prior to focusing fully on psychotherapy, I spent six years working in career coaching and career counseling. That experience continues to inform my work with clients navigating career transitions, workplace stress, burnout, job dissatisfaction, identity development, executive functioning challenges in professional settings, and the pressure many people feel to meet unrealistic standards of productivity and success. In therapy, I aim to create a space that feels emotionally safe, nonjudgmental, and authentic. I value helping clients better understand themselves with both insight and practical tools, while also supporting deeper healing work around attachment, identity, grief, trauma, and self-worth. My style tends to be warm, direct, engaged, and collaborative, balancing emotional processing with concrete strategies clients can apply outside of session. I believe healing happens not only through insight, but through experiencing safety, connection, self-compassion, and authenticity in new ways.
