More about Lorien

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am licensed in Arizona with 20 years of professional experience working in healthcare. Specifically, mental/behavioral health, psychotherapy, care coordination/case management, and professional coaching and mentoring. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and depression. As a social worker I have been trained to conduct a comprehensive history and assessment in order to understand both the individual and environmental factors impacting one struggles. In my practice I commit to listen, empower, and help identify and leverage individual strengths in developing a plan to tackle disruptive thought and behavior patterns.

I have specific experience working with the United States Veteran population. I have completed training in many Evidence Based Practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. Ultimately, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Exploring therapy takes courage; I am proud of you for doing so, and if we are a good fit I look forward to getting to know you better and supporting you on this journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
