About Lorraine
Lorraine Asti is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She brings eight years of clinical experience and uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. Lorraine aims to create a calm, focused space where clients can talk through pressing concerns and build clearer coping plans.
She commonly helps people facing depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, and relationship strain. Lorraine also supports clients dealing with sleep and eating problems, self-esteem struggles, career stress, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to attachment issues, body image, codependency, and chronic illness challenges. Her work draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Lorraine uses these tools to help people spot unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and focus on values that matter to them.
She also applies attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen emotional connection and self-understanding. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lorraine understands that life is busy and aims for therapy that fits people’s routines rather than adding more stress.
Her practice follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
Online therapy approaches that meet you where you are
Lorraine uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and focused; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and behavioral patterns tied to mood or addiction.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT can be useful for people dealing with persistent worry, avoidance, or life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lorraine works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time and check in about what is working and what feels off.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and work on skills in real time. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter check-ins, coaching between sessions, or ongoing tracking of goals. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or daily routines while keeping treatment consistent.
