About Lorena

Lorena Flores is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has worked in California for 20 years. She has supported people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to meet people where they are with respect and compassion.

Her work focuses on clear, practical conversations. She tailors sessions and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions look different depending on the problem - sometimes the work is about managing strong feelings, and sometimes it is about finding new routines after a difficult change.

Lorena listens first, then helps people build skills they can use between visits. She pays attention to how past hurts affect current behavior and mood. When helpful, she breaks down big problems into small, manageable steps so progress is easier to track.

Over two decades of practice have brought experience across many concerns, including abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and workplace issues. She also addresses mood disorders, self-love, social anxiety and women’s issues.

People who prefer direct, steady support may find this style useful. Lorena emphasizes empowerment and practical coping strategies. To start, a short matching questionnaire is used and scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online care and goals

Many therapists who use evidence-based techniques focus on helping people regulate strong emotions and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and depression, such as grounding exercises, mood tracking, and pacing activities to reduce overwhelm. This helps when stress or low mood make daily tasks harder.

Another helpful approach studies how past events affect present reactions and relationships. Work like this looks at patterns that repeat and then practices different responses. It is useful for trauma, anger, and communication problems where old hurts keep showing up in current life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also offer flexibility for people in different time zones since international clients are accepted. A quick scheduling step follows the matching questionnaire to arrange times that work.
