About Stanley
LMFT in California with 37 years of experience, Stanley Sorensen helps people address addictions, relationship problems, traumatic stress, grief, and depression. He works from a viewpoint that clients know their own stories and brings long experience to guide practical steps. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable change rather than abstract theory.

He also supports people working through the aftermath of trauma and loss, helping them organize difficult memories and responses into something they can manage.

His work is pragmatic and collaborative. He treats guilt, shame, and problems with forgiveness by exploring the beliefs and actions that sustain them. He also supports people who are searching for life purpose or stronger self-regard through focused conversations and behavioral tasks.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based techniques in Stanley's practice focus on clear, teachable skills and behavior change. For example, behavioral strategies involve setting small, achievable tasks to reduce avoidance and manage panic symptoms. These tasks help rebuild routine and confidence through repeated practice.Another common approach is trauma-focused work that helps organize memories and reactions. This involves pacing difficult material, learning grounding and emotion-regulation skills, and creating a plan for tolerating distress. For grief and loss, he uses supportive, structured conversations that help name what has happened and plan steps toward daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He works with each person to match methods to their current needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust methods or homework as needed.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Practically, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, and maintain regular check-ins. Phone or video may vary in how much visual feedback they provide, and shorter sessions can work when time is limited. These practical differences can help shape what is realistic for ongoing work.
