About Lorena
Lorena Borella-Clements brings an integrative, client-centered approach to therapy, grounding her work in practical strategies that help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression.
Background and approach
As an LMFT with 17 years of clinical experience, she blends cognitive behavioral principles with narrative and trauma-focused methods to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, process difficult experiences, and build coping skills for day-to-day life. She creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where emotions and personal stories are explored at the client’s pace.
Her practice addresses intimacy-related concerns and a range of relational and intrapersonal themes, including attachment and abandonment wounds, communication and commitment issues, family of origin dynamics, blended family challenges, and the effects of domestic violence and other forms of trauma.
Lorena emphasizes skill-building alongside deeper emotional work so clients leave sessions with practical tools as well as greater self-understanding. Based in Oregon and licensed as an LMFT, she offers therapy that honors each person’s cultural background and lived experience, aiming to support growth, resilience, and clearer pathways forward.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Healing
Lorena commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also uses trauma-focused methods that assist in processing painful memories and reducing lingering symptoms related to abuse or traumatic events. These approaches aim to combine immediate coping strategies with deeper processing of difficult experiences.Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and needs, then tailors techniques and pacing so the work feels manageable and relevant. Clients are encouraged to share feedback as treatment progresses so methods can be adjusted together.
Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access support from home. These formats offer flexibility in how and when people engage with therapy, allowing for a mix of real-time conversations and written check-ins depending on what best supports the client’s progress.
