Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. Solution-focused techniques break big problems into small, doable steps. Lorene brings a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included.
She respects each person’s values and works at their pace. Many people seek her help for caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, or the emotional impact of cancer or hospice situations. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, or questions about life purpose.
Work-related stress and issues with intimacy or self-esteem are common topics too. Her aim is to help clients build resilience and practical habits that fit their daily lives. Sessions are offered in English and held from South Carolina.
Lorene describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together. People who begin with her can expect direct, respectful conversation and tools they can practice between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where someone is coming from. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship worries, or life transitions.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises to calm racing thoughts and notice patterns. These practices are often helpful for stress, depression, and managing strong emotions by bringing awareness to the present moment.
Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and build motivation for steps forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try strategies together. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for a full conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or to use shorter, focused check-ins. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
