Lorena Griese, LMFT

Lorena Griese is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New Mexico with five years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She brings a practical, strengths-focused approach that emphasizes clients as the experts of their own stories while offering guidance to build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Her work often centers on resolving family conflicts and improving communication within relationships, supporting individuals and families as they face transitions, grief, or patterns that feel stuck. Lorena values collaboration and helps clients identify and use their existing strengths to move toward meaningful change.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and Lorena honors that first step by creating a welcoming, respectful space for exploration. She encourages clients to set goals that matter to them and partners with them to develop skills and insights that support lasting progress. As an LMFT, she combines relational understanding with practical techniques to address the challenges clients bring to therapy.

Evidence-Based Support Delivered Remotely

Lorena Griese draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs of each person she works with. One approach focuses on practical coping skills for stress and anxiety - teaching tools for managing worry, improving daily routines, and reducing the impact of overwhelming emotions so clients can function better in everyday life. Another emphasis is on relational and family-focused work - exploring communication patterns, boundaries, and roles within relationships to improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts. A third area of focus addresses trauma and grief with a paced, supportive approach that helps individuals process difficult experiences and rebuild a sense of safety and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lorena partners with clients to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so care remains responsive and effective.

Online sessions - by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it possible to access consistent support without travel. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow therapy to continue during life transitions, and make it easier for people in different locations to connect with licensed professionals and therapists who understand their needs.
