About Lorena
Lorena Griese is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family conflicts. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem and confidence struggles, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and first responder issues. Lorena works with clients in English and accepts international clients.
Lorena believes clients know their own stories and brings a practical, strengths-focused style to sessions.
How Lorena works
She listens closely and helps people identify small, doable steps they can take. The focus is on building tools that fit everyday life, not on jargon or long lectures. Her background includes five years of clinical experience and a license as a New Mexico LMFT - licensed marriage and family therapist.
That combination guides how she blends relationship-focused thinking with attention to individual stress and mood concerns. Sessions aim to feel collaborative and straightforward. Lorena encourages people to set clear goals and checks in about what helps and what does not.
She frames progress as a series of small changes rather than overnight fixes. Therapy is offered through multiple online formats to fit different needs. Lorena can work with people who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The approach is practical and adaptable to each person's life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on identifying patterns, building skills, and practicing new ways of coping. One common approach teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings, then test them with small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method helps with stress, worry, and low mood by breaking problems into manageable tasks.Another helpful approach centers on relationship and family dynamics. It looks at how interactions affect feelings and behavior, and then practices clearer communication and boundaries to ease conflict and improve intimacy. This is useful for people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, or tension at home.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, challenges, and daily life. Together they track what works and adjust methods over time.
Online formats offer practical advantages for starting and sticking with therapy. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules permit. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier if being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging enable brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or shift schedules while keeping the focus on usable tools and steady progress.
