More about Lorna
- 7 years' experience

- LCSW
Hello, my name is lorna. I live and practice therapy in California. I have been practicing in the public sector for the past seven years. I received a national license as an LCSW three years ago. I have experience with children, adolescents and adults. The reason I decided to earn my degree in social work and eventually become licensed is because I enjoy people and believe that we all deserve to enjoy our lives.
I have found that our lives change so quickly that many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed with expectations and shifting situations. I believe that once we learn more about ourselves, life gets easier and can be fun and fulfilling. Although I have experience with many different therapies, I generally find that cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and motivational interviewing work well to help people gain balance in their lives. My goal is to help you to understand yourself, decide what you would like to focus on, and eventually help you find the tools and resources you can use to accomplish your goals. Therapy is a team effort, I consider myself the helper. All people are different and have different needs. Therefore, you provide the goals and decide what works best for you.
Whether you enjoy worksheets or talk therapy, there are many different ways to help you overcome whatever obstacle you are seeking help for. I look forward to hearing from you and beginning our relationship.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
