Lorena has been amazing in listening to my thoughts and issues. Helping guide me to practice some exercises to better myself on a daily basis when I feel certain anxiety’s. I feel more clarity on certain issues and this sense of weight is lifted off my shoulders after each session. Truly grateful to have her as my therapist and look forward our sessions together.

Hello!
My name is Lorena Mejia, I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician in the state of Florida. I have experience in assessments, biopsychosocials, groups, and individual therapy. I have worked with a wide range of age groups (from adolescents to senior adults). I mostly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Behavioral Therapy. I utilized motivational interviewing as a technique very often. I try to use a person-center approach with all techniques, as I love to see the progress my clients make when attending therapy. I feel just as much as my clients learn from me I learn from them as well. I work my hardest to show understanding and compassion for my clients, I want them to feel our sessions are their safe place. I also work hard on creating a nonjudgmental space for my clients. I want to work alongside my clients and help them achieve their goals.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
