About Lorena
Lorena Collazo is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with five years of professional experience. She lists stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and depression among her main areas of work, and she speaks English and Spanish.
She brings an international perspective from living and travelling overseas. Lorena is also a doctoral researcher and a single parent, and she draws on those life experiences when supporting others. She says those experiences deepened her understanding of recovery and post-traumatic growth.
Lorena offers trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. In sessions she focuses on listening, understanding each person’s history, and building practical steps forward. She notes experience supporting people living with disability, chronic illness and neurodivergence.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and family conflict, workplace stress and burnout, eating disorders, cancer and other life-changing health conditions, self-esteem, and grief. She also lists attachment and dissociation, autism and ADHD, and challenges linked to migration and cultural adjustment.
Lorena describes a collaborative style. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and draws on mindfulness and strengths-based practices when helpful. The aim is to develop strategies people can try between sessions and to notice what works for them.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Lorena draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people with anxiety, trauma and related concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking and behaviour and try specific exercises to reduce anxious reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and learning simple skills to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lorena describes therapy as collaborative and will discuss which techniques fit best with a person’s goals, preferences and life circumstances. Decisions about methods and pacing happen step by step with the client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel on busy days. The practical aim is to help therapy fit into everyday life while focusing on skills and strategies that carry over between sessions.
