Loren Edwards

Loren Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage relationship concerns, LGBT-related issues, self-esteem, motivation, and anger. Loren aims to meet clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion from the first conversation.

Loren uses a practical style in sessions. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Conversations are tailored to what the client needs that week, whether that means exploring feelings, practicing new skills, or making a step-by-step plan.

Her background includes approaches that emphasize the person's experience and present thinking. Loren draws on client-centered ideas to make the room a nonjudgmental space. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.

For people dealing with intense emotions or relationship patterns, she incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and Imago relationship ideas to learn new interaction habits. Existential perspectives are used when clients want to clarify values or make meaning after big life changes.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people feel understood and guides the pace of change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to try different responses and habits. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful when strong feelings lead to impulsive actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past attempts, and day-to-day needs, then recommend options to try. That collaborative process can include trying a skill-focused approach for a few weeks and adjusting if something else fits better.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing check-ins during shorter breaks. It also lets people use approaches like CBT and DBT skills coaching from wherever they are, which can help transfer new habits into daily life.
