About Lorena
LMFT in New Mexico with 5 years of clinical experience, Lorena Griese focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also supports people facing low self-esteem, motivation struggles, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. Lorena works with issues related to intimacy, parenting, anger, and life changes, and she has an additional focus on first responder issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Lorena approaches work by treating each person as the expert on their own life. She builds on the strengths someone already has and helps them apply those strengths to current challenges. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, aimed at clarifying what matters and finding manageable next steps.
In sessions she listens for patterns that maintain stress and low mood, then helps people try new ways of responding. This can include small behavioral changes, communication practice, and planning for coping with difficult moments. She frames progress as a series of concrete steps rather than big leaps.
Her background as a licensed marriage and family therapist informs a focus on relationships and family dynamics without assuming a particular family structure. Lorena has five years of experience working in clinical settings and with people affected by trauma and grief.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She uses a subscription model for payment that can be canceled at any time and the cost varies by location. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Lorena keeps language direct and practical in sessions. She aims to help people develop clearer coping skills and steadier routines so daily life becomes easier to manage.

Approaches used and how online work proceeds
Two evidence-informed techniques she uses are practical behavior-focused work and strength-based conversation. Behavior-focused work looks at everyday routines and habits, then identifies small changes that reduce stress or improve mood. Strength-based conversation highlights skills and resilience the person already has and applies those skills to current problems.She also focuses on communication skill-building for relationship and family concerns. That involves role practice, clearer ways to express needs, and planning for conversations that commonly go off track. These methods tend to help with anxiety, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and problems that come up after traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques make sense based on goals, preferences, and what proves useful in early sessions. Adjustments are made as progress and barriers become clear.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel to an office. Talk with her during the matching process about what schedule and session rhythm will best fit daily life.
