About Lourna

Dr. Charles uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.

In a typical session she talks through concrete strategies for managing symptoms and improving relationships. She also practices mindfulness techniques to help with stress and grounding. Motivational Interviewing helps when people are trying to change habits or address addictions by clarifying goals and increasing motivation.
Dr. Charles emphasizes practical, step-by-step progress. She supports people in identifying actions they can take between sessions. The work often includes skill-building, communication practice, and short-term goals focused on immediate concerns.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses clear, practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to improve daily functioning.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices. These techniques help reduce stress and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT skills with mindfulness practice or using Motivational Interviewing when people want help changing behaviors.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and use tools like guided exercises or brief between-session tasks to support progress.
