Background and approach
She uses Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of their stories and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the pace and goals driven by the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools are used when helpful to shift thinking patterns and manage strong emotions.
She also supports issues that often come with transitions and caregiving, such as aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and workplace pressures. Financial worries, isolation, guilt, and struggles with self-love or communication are other areas she addresses. These topics are discussed plainly and practically to find usable next steps.
Lorena emphasizes collaboration in therapy. Sessions focus on building coping skills the person can use between meetings. She encourages people to try small experiments that test new ways of thinking and acting.

Online session options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Therapy often starts with telling your story and noticing which parts feel stuck. Narrative Therapy helps by separating the person from the problem and rewriting limiting stories so daily life feels more manageable. Client-Centered Therapy places the person in charge of goals and pace, with the therapist guiding and reflecting what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to pick methods that match your goals, needs, and comfort level. You can try different tools and decide together which ones help most as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want that connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera. Live chat or messaging can support brief check-ins, daily tracking, or quick skill practice between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use around work, caregiving, and other demands.
