About Lorraine

She brings 30 years of clinical experience to short-term and longer work on stress, anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and attention-related challenges. Her manner is straightforward and calm, focused on helping people feel steadier and more able to manage daily life.
She works with adults who are dealing with mood shifts, health-related stress, and big life changes.
Background and approach
Lorraine pays attention to how physical illness, pain, or aging can affect emotions and daily routines. She also addresses issues tied to body image, substance use, and communication problems that get in the way of daily functioning. Her practice uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and build practical steps toward them.
Sessions tend to look at small, doable changes that add up over time. Lorraine emphasizes what’s already working and helps people apply those strengths to current struggles. Lorraine draws on decades of experience to adjust how she works for each person.
She can shift the pace, offer shorter problem-focused work, or support deeper, ongoing change depending on what a client needs. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, French, and Hebrew to meet language preferences. She offers live video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging formats so people can choose what fits their schedules.
Her licensure is CT LPC and NY LMHC, and she practices from New York while accepting international clients.
Solution-Focused care delivered online
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, achievable goals and practical steps. It helps people identify what is already working in their lives and build on those strengths. This approach often suits stress, anxiety, sleep or eating issues where short-term, targeted changes can make daily life easier.When working online, Lorraine will help clients choose the approach that fits their goals and preferences. She treats the choice as a collaboration - discussing what to try first, checking in on progress, and revising plans as needed. That way the work stays aimed at the client’s priorities and time frame.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, brief live chat can support quick check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing, short-format contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
