Evidence-based techniques and online care
Lorena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses teaches skills for managing anxious thoughts and reducing stress through step-by-step coping strategies and behavioral changes. This approach helps people who feel overwhelmed by worry or racing thoughts.She also applies trauma-informed methods that prioritize safety and pacing. These methods help people who have experienced abuse or traumatic events by building tolerance for difficult memories and feelings and by strengthening emotion regulation skills.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns and goals, try strategies that match your needs, and adjust plans together as progress is made. Clients are invited to share preferences about pace and format so work aligns with their life and comfort.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing daily responsibilities.
