About Lorena
Lorena Collazo is an ACA counsellor in Australia with five years of professional experience. She is Spanish-born and has lived and travelled internationally. She brings that cultural perspective into sessions and speaks both English and Spanish.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and disability, communication problems, relationship separation, body image, and neurodivergence among others. The biography notes experience supporting people with complex health conditions and life-changing diagnoses.
Lorena describes her approach as trauma-informed and culturally responsive. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to develop practical strategies together with clients. Sessions are described as collaborative, with attention to personal values and goals.
She is also a doctoral researcher and a single mother, and these life roles inform her understanding of recovery, resilience, and the effects of trauma. That background informs how she listens and how she frames practical steps for coping and adjustment.
Her work includes supporting people through immigration and cultural adjustment, workplace stress and burnout, grief, and family conflict. The biography also references work with self-harm and suicidal thoughts and with children and adolescents, alongside adult clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
She integrates well-known, evidence-based techniques into her work, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence feelings and helps build practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and practise flexible responses to difficult feelings rather than avoiding them.The right mix of methods is decided together. Lorena describes her work as collaborative; she will help a client choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That includes checking what feels manageable and realistic for day-to-day life.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online methods. Many people find online sessions useful because they save travel time, fit into a busy day, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Others prefer a longer, camera-on conversation for more in-depth work. Discussing practical arrangements in advance helps make sessions fit everyday routines and responsibilities.
