Background and approach
She helps people build confidence, manage difficult emotions, and find direction in their careers or relationships. Sessions often focus on skills that can be used right away. Her background includes long-term work with grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar and compassion fatigue concerns.

Lorraine draws on client-centered and evidence-informed techniques to tailor each plan. She encourages mindfulness and practical behavior changes so progress feels tangible. The aim is to help people cope better day to day and move toward the life they want.
Approach and options for online therapy
Lorraine uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person's experience at the center of sessions. That means she listens first, follows the client's lead, and helps people use their own strengths to solve problems. This approach is useful for feeling heard and building confidence.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into clear steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorraine will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges to choose methods that fit. She aims to adapt techniques so they make sense for each person's life rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for full conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for quick questions or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
