About Lorien
Lorien Nelson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and offers practical steps so parents and busy adults can start making small changes right away. Her style aims to make the first steps feel doable instead of overwhelming.
She brings ten years focused directly in mental health, plus broader healthcare experience. That background shapes how she gathers a clear history and looks at both personal and environmental factors affecting someone's struggles.
Background and approach
Lorien uses that information to build a plan that fits each person’s life and goals. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients spot strengths they can use. She guides people to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try new behaviors that match their values.
The work often includes short exercises between sessions to practice new ways of coping. Lorien also draws on tools from cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness to help clients manage emotions and stay focused on what matters. She may use motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when a client wants clearer next steps or faster change.
She practices in Arizona and works in English. If a parent or adult is looking for straightforward support with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, or life direction, Lorien centers the session on real, achievable changes.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. Online ACT often uses brief exercises and real-life experiments to shift how a person responds to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear tools to change patterns that cause distress. CBT sessions online commonly include worksheets, behavioral experiments, and homework to practice between calls.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorien will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you will adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and practical for your life.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, short coaching moments, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep practicing new skills between meetings.
