Lori-Ana Guillen

Lori-Ana Guillen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Franklin, WI, who works with individuals across the lifespan, with a focus on navigating adjustment, human relationships, and women's experiences. Many of her clients have found great success in their ability to find stabilization and return to mindfully enjoying life after consistent therapy. Lori-Ana believes in creating safe spaces to process life's ups and downs and helping clients find their motivation to continue to put one foot in front of the other.

Lori-Ana's approach is rooted in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution- Focused Approach, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, so that they can begin to make targeted change. Lori-Ana believes in the importance of letting client's discover their own answers while also providing education around different tools to support the client's goals. She works to help clients understand their physical response to external stressors, and begin to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of calm, to choose to respond rather than react in the face of change.

Lori-Ana is focused on ensuring that her clients see real progress: her style is interactive, non-judgmental, and positions clients as the experts on where they are now, and where they want to go. A trauma-informed therapist, Lori-Ana is sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges, and works closely with clients to reframe the narrative of their life in a way that increases self-confidence and compassion.

Lori-Ana's first priority in starting with a new client is ensuring that they feel safe, heard, and like an equal partner in the therapeutic process. As a seasoned telehealth provider, she offers the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy a core component of your self-care calendar.
