Background and approach
Conversations are shaped to help people notice patterns, try new coping skills, and build confidence in daily life. Lorena draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses client-centered work to follow the client's lead and create a calm, nonjudgmental space.
Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to reduce stress and increase present-moment focus. Her experience includes supporting people through life transitions, relationship and communication problems, caregiver stress, and concerns tied to aging or finances. She pays attention to how guilt, isolation, or workplace strain affect mood and motivation.
The goal is practical change that improves both personal and work life. Lorena encourages a collaborative approach. She helps people set realistic steps and build coping skills they can use after sessions end.
Therapy is framed as a process of steady progress toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work puts the person’s concerns and goals first. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens deeply, and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and involved in decisions about their care.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it offers concrete tools and homework to try between sessions. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and improve focus in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are expected as trust and understanding grow, and the plan changes based on what helps most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat supports brief check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
