About Lorraine
Lorraine begins by hearing what is happening now and what the client hopes to change. She uses talk, reflection, and simple exercises so people can notice thought patterns and daily habits that get in the way. Sessions focus on real-life steps - small changes that add up over time.
Her work draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-based ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered care. These tools are used flexibly to match each person's needs rather than following a single script.
Lorraine has experience helping people with parenting stresses, blended family issues, caregiving strain, and relationship communication problems. She also supports those facing abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, domestic violence, and co-occurring concerns like bipolar disorder or substance use.
Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical skills to manage emotions, build healthier routines, and improve connection with others. Lorraine aims to help people find sustainable ways to feel steadier and more capable in daily life.

Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking small actions that move a life in a chosen direction. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation when daily habits get stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how relationships and early connections shape current reactions and can be useful for intimacy, communication, and family concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques rather than sticking to one model, so treatment can change as progress happens.
The practical benefits of remote sessions are often about fitting therapy into life. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
