Lorene Floyd, LPC

Lorene Floyd is a licensed professional counselor with 36 years of clinical experience. She offers steady, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and trauma. Her style is direct and compassionate, focused on everyday steps that bring relief and clearer thinking.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and build each person’s sense of self-worth. Solution-focused ideas are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress over time.

Many who come to her want help with relationships, communication problems, intimacy concerns, or codependency. She also supports people dealing with anger, life purpose questions, and issues that often affect women, veterans, and older adults. Lorene emphasizes practical skills people can use between sessions.

Her trauma-focused work helps people process painful memories and reduce their daily impact. She guides clients through steady steps rather than rushing healing, and she pays attention to pacing so people feel able to try new ways of coping.

Lorene works with straightforward language and aims for clear plans each week. Sessions typically include setting small goals, practicing new skills, and checking what helped. Her long experience in Alabama gives her familiarity with local needs and life stresses.

How her approaches work online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. Online sessions use CBT exercises and simple homework so people can practice new habits between meetings. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, helping clients feel heard while they explore self-worth and choices in their life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning means the focus can shift as needs change over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and shared tools, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try methods that match how someone prefers to communicate.
