LPCC, 15 years of experience
Hello! my name is Lorie Alcocer, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), credentialed school psychologist and school counselor with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I am passionate about and committed to supporting my clients through their challenges, so they can experience healing and growth. Using a client-centered approach, I provide a safe and accepting environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions.
My first session with you or your child/adolescent will be focused on building a therapeutic relationship. During this time, we will also discuss what brought you to therapy and what goals you would like to accomplish.
My approach is warm, empathetic, and client-centered, drawing from a variety of evidence-based and creative modalities. Working with adults, adolescents, and children, I will support my client’s autonomy while providing a safe, empathic and non-judgmental environment. I will use a non-directive approach while supporting parental involvement when working with children and adolescents. Meeting the unique needs of my clients, I encourage healthier thought patterns and behaviors while exploring intrinsic values and goals and inspiring creative expression. When meaningful to the client, I also integrate a Christian perspective to deepen insight and connection.
Using a person-centered approach, I will work collaboratively with all my clients in a non-structured and client-driven environment. For either adults, adolescents or parents of young children, we will work together to formulate goals and treatment plans that you decide and are comfortable with. I strive to create an environment that is welcoming and accepting where you leave sessions with a greater self-awareness, practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, and steady progress toward meaningful goals. Whether you're seeking relief, growth, or simply a place to be heard, I’m here to walk with you on your journey.
