About Lorien

Lorien Nelson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona who brings extensive experience in mental and behavioral health, psychotherapy, care coordination, case management, and professional coaching and mentoring. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, challenges with motivation and self-esteem, confidence concerns, and depression, using a strengths-focused approach to support lasting change.

Trained to conduct comprehensive clinical histories and assessments, she considers both individual factors and environmental influences when helping clients understand their struggles. Her practice centers on listening, empowering clients, and identifying personal strengths to build practical plans that address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She adapts her work to each person, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet specific needs and goals.

Nelson has particular experience serving the United States Veteran population and has completed training in evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and is ready to get to know clients and support them on their journey when there is a good fit.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, while teaching skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness through simple practices that can reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, and it pairs well with other treatments for stress and trauma.



Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorien partners with each person to explore what techniques and goals feel most helpful, adjusting the plan over time to match evolving needs and preferences.



Online therapy with Lorien is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing therapists and clients to focus on progress in a way that works best for the individual.
