About Lorena

Lorena Thomas is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, and major life changes. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances while emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Background and approach

With six years of professional experience, she draws on a range of therapeutic methods to support clients through emotional turmoil and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes client empowerment and practical coping skills.

Lorena favors a person-centered stance that encourages clients to take an active role in shaping their goals, and she blends this with evidence-based techniques to build resilience and confidence. She also works with relationship and family issues, caregiving stress, aging-related concerns, workplace difficulties, and topics such as guilt, loneliness, financial strain, and women’s issues.

Lorena aims to help clients develop sustainable strategies that improve functioning at home and work and foster long-term well-being.

Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learn practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is action-oriented and often focuses on developing coping strategies and behavioral experiments to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and creating a space where clients guide the work. This approach supports personal growth by prioritizing the client's goals and encouraging self-discovery and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorena collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions make it easier to access ongoing care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer scheduling flexibility and allow clients to choose the format that best fits their daily routines while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
