How Lorien works
That assessment guides straightforward goal-setting and a clear plan. Sessions focus on strengthening personal resources and interrupting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns in everyday life. Lorien uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people manage difficult feelings in the moment.
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and motivate change. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people set achievable steps and keep momentum. Her background includes clinical social work, psychotherapy, care coordination, case management, and professional coaching.
That mix informs a practical, problem-solving style that still makes room for emotion and meaning. The clinician favors simple exercises and short-term goals people can try between meetings. People who choose to work with Lorien can expect a collaborative tone.
She listens, names strengths, and helps design a plan that fits daily life. Exploring therapy takes courage, and she aims to support clients as they try new strategies and track what helps.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns and mood symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan so the work fits the person’s daily life and needs.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy or unpredictable schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief coaching, homework check-ins, or quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and apply strategies in real time.
