About Lorinda

Lorinda Moreno is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find practical ways to cope.

Lorinda practices in Hawaii and holds the LMHC credential. Lorinda uses simple, practical methods in sessions. She listens without judgment and helps people set small, realistic goals.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Client-Centered Therapy guides her to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions tend to focus on skills you can use at home.

That can include communication techniques for family members, ways to manage anxiety, and plans for handling grief or big transitions. She also addresses issues like attachment, blended family dynamics, and challenges related to neurodiversity. Her background includes three years of clinical experience as an LMHC in Hawaii.

She has worked with people dealing with loneliness, guilt, forgiveness, and life purpose questions. Hospice and end-of-life topics are also within her practice scope. Lorinda aims to help people build resilience and clearer next steps.

She encourages practical coping strategies and honest conversations. Working together starts with a short matching process and scheduling that fits each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s lead. The therapist creates space for clients to set their own goals and talk at their own pace, which helps when figuring out parenting or family priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, useful for anxiety, stress, and everyday parenting challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods to match a client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps create a plan people can actually use at home.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep progress going between appointments. They also allow for shorter check-ins or more frequent messaging when that suits the family’s needs.

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.
