About Lorinda
Lorinda Moreno, LMHC, focuses on helping parents and individuals who feel overwhelmed by change, grief, or ongoing stress. She offers calm, practical support for people trying to manage anxiety, family tension, or the strain of caregiving. Sessions emphasize simple tools and clearer daily routines rather than complex jargon.
Lorinda uses a client-centered approach that keeps each person’s goals at the center of the work. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build more effective coping habits.
Background and approach
Together with clients she creates small, concrete steps to reduce stress and improve communication at home. Her practice includes support for parenting concerns, blended family issues, and relationship communication problems. She also helps people facing loss, major life changes, and feelings of isolation or guilt.
Practical strategies are a steady part of sessions, including role-playing conversations and setting realistic boundaries. Lorinda has three years of professional experience as a licensed mental health counselor in Hawaii. That background includes working with people living with intellectual disability, attachment concerns, and autism spectrum conditions.
She also brings experience supporting those navigating hospice and end-of-life situations. The process typically starts with short-term goals and adjusts as needs change. Clients who prefer different formats can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Her approach is conversational, down-to-earth, and focused on what helps in everyday life.

Approaches and online options for parenting and life change
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. The therapist listens without judgment, helps clarify what matters most, and follows the client’s pace to set practical goals that fit daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and the patterns that make parenting and relationships harder to navigate.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will explore the client’s needs, preferences, and short-term goals to decide whether client-centered work, CBT, or a mix will be most helpful. This collaborative stance means the plan can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent while juggling family life and busy schedules.
