Her style combines compassionate listening with practical tools. Sessions commonly include goal-setting, skill practice, and checking progress week to week. Motivational interviewing is used to help people resolve mixed feelings about change and stay motivated.

Lorene helps people work through relationship and communication problems without judging their choices. She supports parents facing parenting stress and caregivers dealing with burnout. She also works with people handling end-of-life concerns, cancer-related stress, and grief.

Based in South Carolina, she brings long-term clinical experience to short-term coaching and deeper therapeutic work. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider what they want from counseling and to start with a clear goal in mind. Practical support and steady encouragement are central to her work.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. It helps when someone needs a steady, understanding space to talk and make sense of their feelings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations so stress and anxiety feel less overwhelming and daily life becomes easier to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative conversation guides whether more mindfulness practice, solution-focused planning, or motivational techniques will be emphasized.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between appointments. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when a quick planning session is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work over the medium you and the therapist agree on, focusing on practical skills, communication practice, and steady progress toward your goals.
