About Lorinda
Lorinda Moreno is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She presents a calm, respectful presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work often centers on family concerns and parenting stress, and she supports people who are trying to make sense of their relationships and life direction.
Her sessions are grounded in listening first. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities.
Background and approach
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of coping. Moreno has worked in Hawaii for three years and brings that local perspective into sessions. She talks with people about everyday pressures, like juggling caregiving, work, and grief, in straightforward language.
The focus is on small, doable changes rather than complicated theory. She addresses a wide set of concerns including attachment and abandonment worries, blended family issues, communication problems, and challenges linked to autism or intellectual disability. She also offers support around hospice, end-of-life topics, and processing loss.
Sessions emphasize building resilience and clearer reasoning about choices. People learn skills to reduce anxiety, improve communication, and cope with painful feelings. Moreno aims to help people feel more steady and in control as they make difficult decisions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist provides empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers and set manageable goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, understanding space to talk through family stress or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and for people who want clear tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals and preferences. Sessions adapt over time as needs change, and clients take an active role in shaping what happens in therapy.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow short check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work through transitions.
