Getting to know Kara Lorenz

Hi there, I'm Kara! I'm Kara Lorenz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Monterey Bay. I have a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their personal strengths. My goal is to provide an empathic and supportive space whether you’re facing overwhelming emotions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life changes, or seeking personal growth. I am based on the Monterey coast of California and provide therapy to clients statewide via telehealth. My approach I utilize a holistic, strengths-based, and personalized approach, tailoring my therapy style to meet your needs. I draw from evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), grief support, nonviolent communication, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My work is trauma-informed and client-centered to support your goals while providing non-judgmental motivation and guidance. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we will explore challenges, identify patterns, and work toward effective changes. My focus I have 10 years of experience in mental health in individual and group therapy with adults (18-80). I’ve gained extensive experience and training treating depression/anxiety, mood dysregulation, personality disorders, anger, sleep challenges, grief, thought disorders, and more. My communication style I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental, and safe space. I value therapeutic relationships and aim to be direct yet respectful. My style is reflective and inquisitive to help you learn about yourself. I strongly believe communication is key to healthy relationships and hope to model that throughout our work together.
