Getting to know Lorinda Morreale

Hi there, I'm Lorinda! My name is Lorinda Morreale. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of La Verne. I have been a therapist for over 30 years and enjoy working with people who wish to grow and change their lives. Many of us feel we are a product of our past, but I believe that once we are adults, we can become whoever we wish to be and use our life lessons as building blocks. I understand change is difficult and takes energy, but it is well worth it when you feel that you are a person you love and appreciate. My approach I use cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral modification, and client-centered therapy techniques. I am eclectic and draw from many theorists, tailored to my clients' needs. My focus I work with clients who want to change their relationships, feelings about themselves, and their lives, and who are willing to try new things to make those changes. I have worked with childhood survivors of abuse, clients with anxiety and panic attacks, and clients who are grieving or have chronic illnesses, among other issues. My communication style I am open-minded and easy to talk to. I ask questions and encourage clients to feel they can tell me anything. I accept that trust is earned and may take time. My goal is to be a trustworthy and ethical therapist, giving you the opportunity to work through what holds you back or what you wish to change or resolve. My journey to mental healthcare I first became interested in therapy in high school. My school counselor was an excellent listener who made me feel comfortable and that my feelings mattered—a first for me. I believe we are here to help and accept one another unconditionally. This acceptance, listening, and hearing in therapy builds a healthy connection.

She is extremely empathetic and has a "walk in my shoes" ability to understand how I feel. In addition, I believe my feelings are not only acknowledged, but also validated.
I loss my parents and my son and brother and was lost, and decided it was time to get some help with the grief I was feeling, and Lorinda is giving me the tools to do that along with making me feel safe and secure in doing so. She is also teaching me it is ok to show my feelings and that it is ok to do so. Also, that it is ok to still be here while my love ones are not, and not to punish myself.
