About Lorena
Lorena Ginn uses a collaborative, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She is an LPCC and brings seven years of experience working with emotional pain and life changes. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so people can make steady progress.
Her style centers on listening first and tailoring tools to each person. That might mean looking at thinking patterns, building coping skills, or using trauma-focused methods when needed.
Background and approach
She pays special attention to issues like low self-esteem, social anxiety, and isolation. Lorena also works with concerns that often accompany mood problems, such as panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and substance use challenges. She addresses guilt and shame directly and helps people develop healthier habits, including support for smoking and vaping cessation.
Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit daily life. The aim is to increase resilience and improve day-to-day functioning.
Based in Kentucky, she offers different ways to connect including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People who prefer brief check-ins or longer weekly sessions can find an option that suits their schedule. Lorena aims to create a steady, respectful space where change can happen one step at a time.
Approaches and what online therapy looks like
Client-centered work focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It starts with careful listening and builds goals based on what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and guides practical next steps for everyday problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses real-life exercises and simple tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and shift unhelpful thinking. CBT often includes homework tasks to practice new skills between sessions.
EMDR is a trauma-informed method that can help when past events keep causing distress. It is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the strong emotions tied to them, often alongside other supportive techniques.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust the plan over time based on what works.
Online formats provide flexibility when coordinating care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on progress and skill-building.
