Lorena Griese , LMFT

Lorena Griese is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) licensed in New Mexico with three years of professional experience supporting people through common life challenges. She focuses on helping clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family conflicts, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Her approach centers on recognizing each person as the expert of their own story and identifying strengths that can be used to address difficult situations. Lorena works collaboratively with clients to explore practical strategies and perspectives that promote clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and more resilient coping skills.

Beginning therapy is often an act of courage, and Lorena acknowledges and honors that step. She aims to create a respectful, encouraging environment where clients feel seen and supported as they work toward meaningful change and greater well-being.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Lorena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues clients bring. One common focus is skills-based work for stress and anxiety, which teaches practical tools for managing difficult thoughts, reducing physical tension, and improving day-to-day coping. Another focus is relationship and family-centered work that helps people improve communication patterns, resolve conflicts, and strengthen connections within couples and families.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lorena collaborates with each client to determine what fits best. She considers a client's goals, preferences, and life context and adjusts techniques as needed so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from home, work, or while traveling, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between sessions when needed.
