About Loren
Loren Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, LGBT-related issues, self-esteem, motivation, and intimacy-related questions. Loren works with adults who are juggling parenting, changes at home, or stress that affects their daily life.
Her way of working is straightforward. Sessions center on the client’s goals and what feels most useful in day-to-day life. She uses clear conversation and practical strategies to address worry, low mood, sleep disruption, and strained relationships. Expect direct talk about patterns, choices, and small experiments you can try between sessions.
Loren draws on several approaches to shape sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s perspective at the heart of the work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving tolerance.
She also brings ideas from Imago Relationship Therapy and existential thinking when relationship questions or questions about meaning come up. That can mean practicing new conversation methods or reflecting on values and life direction. Loren adapts what she uses to fit what each person is trying to change.
Practical matters such as session pacing, short-term goals, and homework are discussed early. The focus is on steady, usable change rather than long lists of techniques. If you are an adult dealing with family stress, parenting strain, or intimacy concerns, Loren can help you clarify next steps and build coping skills.
How sessions work
How Loren’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice that means sessions begin with your concerns and goals, and the therapist reflects what she hears so you can clarify next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Online CBT sessions often include brief skill practice, thought records, and behavior experiments to try between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions. Online work can include short skills coaching and step-by-step practice of those techniques.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Loren will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your goals and day-to-day life. That can change over time as different problems come into focus, and she will check in about what is and isn’t working.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online appointments can help fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can occur during a lunch break or an evening. Talk with Loren about pacing, homework, and how to use sessions so they fit your routine and responsibilities.
