About Lorena
Lorena Borella-Clements is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and depression. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and she aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable.
Lorena uses a mix of approaches that match a person’s emotional and life situation. In sessions she listens closely to personal stories and looks for practical ways to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. People learn coping skills and techniques that can ease overwhelming feelings and build steadier habits.
She pays attention to background factors such as attachment patterns, family of origin issues, and past losses. That context helps shape treatment goals and the kinds of interventions she suggests. Lorena also addresses topics like abandonment, commitment concerns, caregiver stress, and relationship communication problems.
Her work includes trauma-focused methods for lingering trauma reactions and narrative approaches to reframe difficult experiences. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Client-centered elements keep the relationship respectful and grounded in each person’s values.
Lorena is based in Oregon and holds CA LMFT and OR LMFT credentials. She conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients. The profile notes that court documentation, custody, DHS, and HR paperwork are outside her scope of practice.
