About Loren

Loren Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who bring concerns about relationships, LGBT matters, intimacy, self-esteem, and motivation. She also helps with anxiety, stress, grief, sleep problems, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and mood-related concerns.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. She uses clear questions, behavioral experiments, and exercises to help people break patterns that get in the way of their goals.

Loren combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix supports both short-term problem solving and building emotional regulation skills for difficult moments. She brings attention to relationships and attachment patterns when those issues come up.

She pays attention to identity and culture, including LGBT and multicultural concerns, and addresses related topics like gender dysphoria, body image, and codependency. Practical concerns such as sleep, anger, and parenting are equally part of sessions when clients need them.

People can expect goal-focused work with clear steps to try between sessions. Loren asks about priorities and then maps small, doable changes. She uses plain language and concrete tools rather than long explanations.

How CBT, client-centered work, and DBT can be used online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people feel understood and clarifies goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to test new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early sessions. Loren will work with each person to identify priorities, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what works. That collaborative process helps match specific tools to the issues someone brings, whether the focus is relationships, mood, or stress management.

Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people use different tools during sessions such as worksheets or brief behavioral experiments. Some formats may be better when less bandwidth is available or when a shorter check-in is needed, so check which options are offered before scheduling.
