Lorenz fosters a safe space with cultural humility, integrates evidence-based practices with psychological theory, and uses more than a decade of experience in behavioral health to empower clients as they explore pathways towards wellness. I have years of experience fostering behavioral change with children on the autism spectrum, teenagers, young adults, and older adults across a variety of settings including private practice, residential treatment centers, inpatient units, outpatient centers, community mental health units, and secure treatment facilities. Having worked with folx from a wide range of backgrounds and with the gamut of presenting concerns has fostered further humility, fueled my hope for change, and contributed to my clinical acumen. By understanding what you bring into and what you want out of treatment, I believe we can forge a pathway to wellness and the achievement of your goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first few meetings will entail us exploring goals, behaviors, experiences, and skills all whilst getting comfortable with each other. We will then identify how best to address your concerns within the therapeutic context and how I might assist you. I work best with clients who want to create change for themselves- no matter where they might be in this process. I am highly collaborative and will strive to understand you and your goals and help you get there.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I strive to be validating and understanding of my clients, whilst acknowledging any limitations and also prompting challenge, as appropriate- so one can expect such feedback. I view therapy as a space for growth and I will do what I can to foster that growth and help you meet your needs by integrating psychological theory with my years of experience in behavioral health.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My ideal client is someone who wants to create change for themself and is motivated to do the work. Whether you have a clear sense of what you want or a vague notion of which direction you want to head in, allow me to be your guide in your journey towards wellbeing.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Over the years, I have learned to integrate ACT concepts into my sessions as an orienting framework for identifying goals and motivation.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT experiments are certainly a go-to in the way I work with clients as is the notion that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and influence each other.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have learned to integrate DBT skills and concepts into my treatment given their applicability for myriad folx.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I am currently training to become a qualified MBCT teacher and integrate mindfulness practices as distress tolerance and coping skills.
Integrative
I weave together components of the aforementioned modalities when treating clients depending on what they are presenting with and their willingness to explore.
