    About Lorene

    Lorene Godbold is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. She brings 24 years of experience and focuses on issues like parenting, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She also offers support around cancer, caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and women's issues.

    She works in a faith-informed, supportive manner that honors each person's individual path. Sessions emphasize attentive listening and practical steps people can use between meetings. The goal is to help people build resilience, regain confidence, and find clearer direction in daily life.

    Her approach draws on client-centered methods and mindfulness practices to help people notice what matters to them. Motivational Interviewing is used to help clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change. Solution-focused tools are offered for short-term problem solving and action planning.

    Lorene keeps the work straightforward and conversational. She aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through emotions, sort priorities, and practice new ways of coping. Many clients use therapy to recover after loss, manage caregiving burdens, or to navigate major transitions.

    She holds the SC LISW-CP credential, indicating licensure as an independent social worker in South Carolina. Her background and years of practice inform a calm and steady therapeutic presence focused on real-life outcomes.

  2. How her approaches guide online therapy

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks about priorities, and follows the client's lead to set the pace and topics for work. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own goals and strengthen commitment to change by exploring ambivalence and building on personal reasons for change.

    These methods are used together to keep sessions practical and person-driven. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which approach or combination fits best. Clients and the therapist check in about goals and adjust methods as needed so work stays relevant to the client's life and values.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. The main benefit is fitting counseling into a busy schedule, such as getting short check-ins during work breaks, avoiding travel time, or using quieter settings when possible. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep consistent progress and to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals aim to match the approach and session rhythm to what a client needs and prefers.
