Treatment Approaches
Treatment approaches depend on the needs and purpose of the planned treatment and will be decided between psychologist and client/patient.
Currently, Dr. Lorenz has begun to focus intensively in areas that are addressed with hypnosis and similar approaches to help facilitate more complex disorders. The following treatment approaches are usually part of what she engages in:
Hypnosis
For anxiety disorders, including PTSD; depression and depressive symptomatology; various phobias; painful conditions and health rehabilitation. Hypnosis can be helpful as a means to accomplish all other treatments as it is a process that can integrate many ways of absorbing new information and facilitating change.
Cognitive and Behavioral
These approaches are often included and combined with all other treatment approaches.
Logotherapy

Hypnosis can be helpful as a means to accomplish all other treatments as it is a process that can integrate many ways of absorbing new information and facilitating change.
