About Lorena
Lorena Ginn is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and low self-esteem. She uses clear, practical strategies so clients can make steady progress. Her approach aims to be warm and straightforward, with attention to what feels doable day to day.
She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. That means talking through problems, noticing patterns, and practicing new ways of reacting.
How Lorena works
For trauma-related concerns she also incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, a method aimed at reducing the hold of painful memories. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people want change but feel stuck. This style helps people clarify goals and find the motivation to act.
Lorena pays attention to how shame, isolation, and guilt can get in the way and helps people move past those feelings. Her caseload includes mood disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, substance use and smoking or vaping cessation. She also supports people dealing with life purpose questions and women's issues.
Sessions focus on practical next steps and achievable goals. With seven years of experience, she brings steady clinical judgment and a calm manner. People who prefer clear explanations and a collaborative, goal-focused process tend to do well in her practice.

How these approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. In practice that looks like sessions where the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps the person decide what matters most to work on. This approach supports anyone feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck with life decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviors. It often includes small experiments between sessions, coping tools for anxiety or low mood, and step-by-step plans to reduce panic and improve daily routines. CBT works well for problems like anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking.
EMDR is used when past events keep causing distress in the present. The work aims to reduce the intensity of painful memories so those memories interfere less with everyday life. It can be helpful for people dealing with post-traumatic stress or trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right method is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try an approach and adjust as needed. This collaborative process makes it easier to pick strategies that fit a person's situation.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging makes quick check-ins and shorter conversations possible. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy life.
