Lorene Godbold

Lorene Godbold is a licensed social worker with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She focuses on practical support for relationship concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem, career crossroads, and compassion fatigue. Her work is grounded in respect for each person's story and aims to help them find steady ground during change.

Her style is warm and faith-informed, while remaining focused on what the client needs in the moment. She listens closely and uses straightforward techniques to reduce overwhelm. Sessions may include short skill-building exercises, guided reflection, and goal-focused conversation to help clients move forward.

Clients often bring situations like divorce, caregiving stress, cancer-related challenges, or end-of-life issues. She also helps with workplace strain, communication problems, and the search for life purpose or self-love. The emphasis is on making real, manageable changes rather than jargon or abstract theory.

Lorene uses elements of client-centered work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to support change. Those approaches are used as tools to clarify goals, build coping skills, and strengthen resilience. Her aim is to partner with each person so therapy fits their values and pace.

She practices in South Carolina and works in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details to make sure they match your needs.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects what matters to you and helps build trust so you can set meaningful goals. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system; it can help with anxiety, stress, and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed to fit your situation and pace.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also make shorter check-ins or coaching-style conversations easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and how they fit your daily routine.
