About Loren

Loren Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship and intimacy challenges, LGBT concerns, mood difficulties, stress, anxiety, and parenting questions. Loren aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they begin the work of change.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Conversations are shaped to match each person’s needs, and treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical skills and steady support rather than long explanations. Loren uses a mix of approaches to help clients manage symptoms and improve everyday functioning. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or mood problems.

She also incorporates client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and values. For relationship and intimacy issues, Loren brings in ideas from Imago relationship work to improve communication and connection. She can also use dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and strong reactions get in the way of daily life.

In sessions, expect clear goals, hands-on tools, and time to talk through what matters most. Loren supports people coping with grief, trauma, parenting stress, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She tailors methods to each person’s situation and helps them build practical steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. It’s about building trust and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client, which helps when someone needs acceptance and clearer direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks problems into manageable parts and offers hands-on exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It is useful when strong reactions, impulsivity, or difficulty regulating feelings interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep continuity of care when life is hectic. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same techniques they would in person, while tailoring interactions to the medium and each person’s comfort level.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
