Lorena Mendoza-Gibson

Licensed Professional Counselor

“Hi, I am Lorena Mendoza Gibson LPC-S, I believe that every individual can heal, gain inner peace and overcome challenges.”

About Me

Building on this belief, I offer a supportive space where we gently explore your challenges. We will uncover your inherent strengths and develop practical strategies tailored to your unique path forward. This approach is ideal for anyone navigating life's difficulties. It helps build lasting resilience, guiding you towards a more peaceful and empowered future.

Approach

Healing often unfolds through steady, practical steps tailored to your life. Whether we meet in Austin or online, in English or Spanish, sessions move at a pace you set and stay focused on what feels most urgent and manageable. I blend short, skill-based exercises with curious, compassionate questioning to loosen anxious or low mood patterns, support safety after abuse, and help clarify identity and choices—then we turn those insights into simple practices between sessions. This way of working tends to suit people who want collaborative, hands-on change.
