Lorenza Vlahos, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lorenza!

I like to use a client-centered, strength-based approach to therapy with a focus on skill-building, pattern resolving, and emotional healing.

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.

My approach

I tailor my approach to meet the client's needs and goals. In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). By using these approaches, I empower clients to gain insight, identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behavior, develop skills, and achieve positive and lasting change.

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, calming, and welcoming space where clients can openly express their authentic selves, thoughts, emotions, and concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, I thought I was destined to be like everyone around me, including their reactive and unhealthy behaviors. Then, I gained insight and learned that change was possible and that I had a choice. I want to be able to help others live their lives the way they choose for themselves.

My goals for you

I like to meet clients where they are and work towards where they would like to be. I believe people are the experts on themselves; I provide the tools.

Our first session

The first session will be focused on discussing expectations for therapy and gathering information about what brings you to therapy, all while trying to assess if there is potential for a healthy working therapeutic relationship.
