Evidence-Based Support, Built for Online Therapy
Lorena Allen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges in practical, skills-focused ways.CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice new coping strategies, and respond differently to triggers that fuel anxiety, low mood, or relationship conflict. Mindfulness-based strategies help clients build awareness of the present moment, which can be especially useful when overwhelm, panic symptoms, or ongoing stress make it hard to feel grounded. Motivational Interviewing (MI) supports change by exploring what matters most to the client, strengthening motivation, and working through ambivalence - which can be helpful during life transitions or when building new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorena collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit the client’s needs over time.
Online therapy can make support easier to access and easier to fit into a busy schedule. Sessions may be held through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility in how they connect and how they continue the work between appointments.
