Lorraine adapts conversations and plans to the situation at hand, aiming for clear steps people can try between sessions. She also addresses substance use, career setbacks, sleep disruption, and motivation challenges.
Background and approach
Over a long career she has worked with many kinds of concerns including relationship strain, intimacy-related worries, caregiving stress, and trauma. Her background includes work with people facing adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, chronic illness and pain, and issues around aging. Lorraine draws on years of clinical experience to guide problem-solving and coping skills.
Her approach mixes client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when helpful to build awareness and movement toward goals. Sessions are practical and collaborative, focusing on what the person wants to change.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Lorraine aims to make the process straightforward. She encourages people to start small, set realistic goals, and notice progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lorraine often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping. Client-centered work means sessions focus on the person's goals and values while the therapist listens and reflects to clarify what matters most.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming or when people need concrete skills for regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style tools can help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and improving day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, try methods that fit the person's goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That conversation is collaborative and guided by the person's preferences and progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when they want it while phone can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Live chat or text work well for brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work consistently over time.
