About Lorraine
Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Sessions are collaborative and practical, aimed at small shifts that add up over time.
She draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Lorraine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to clarify values and build flexible coping. Client-centered work guides the pace and focus of sessions. Lorraine earned a Master of Social Work and holds the New York LCSW-R credential.
Over a long career she provided individual and group therapy, supervised other clinicians, and supported people facing substance use, mood disorders, and trauma. That background informs a steady, experienced approach in sessions. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She helps people talk through hard moments, practice new skills, and track small progress. Lorraine also addresses issues such as grief, addiction, parenting stress, caregiving strain, and concerns related to identity and relationships. Sessions can be arranged by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.
Lorraine works with adults in New York and conducts therapy in English.
How Lorraine's approaches work online
Lorraine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorraine works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions match changing needs rather than following a rigid plan.
The online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit quick check-ins, and messaging allows brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
