About Lorena

Lorena Ginn brings a pragmatic, compassion-driven style to therapy, drawing on cognitive behavioral methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. As an LPCC practicing in Kentucky, she combines practical skill-building with trauma-informed care to address issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions, and post-traumatic stress.

Background and approach

Her work often focuses on restoring self-esteem, reducing isolation, and creating clearer purpose in daily life. With seven years of clinical experience, she uses evidence-informed tools to help clients manage panic, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and challenges related to substance use.

She also addresses concerns like guilt and shame, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and smoking or vaping cessation. Clients can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes resilience, emotional regulation, and concrete strategies for sustainable change.

Ginn integrates Client-Centered techniques alongside CBT and EMDR-informed practices, and she draws on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. Her approach aims to balance empathy and structure so individuals learn coping skills while exploring deeper patterns that affect relationships and daily functioning.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

CBT helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill practice, which adapts well to virtual formats for addressing anxiety, mood disorders, and patterns like compulsions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to create a supportive space for exploring values, life purpose, and self-esteem concerns. EMDR is used as a trauma-informed option to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact when clinically appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is handled collaboratively; the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns to determine which methods to prioritize. This process may combine skill-based CBT work with client-centered exploration and trauma-focused techniques, adjusting over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from Kentucky-based licensed professionals without needing to travel to an office.
