About Lorraine
Lorraine Stamp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Recredentialed (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 28 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and related issues such as parenting, intimacy, and self-esteem. Lorraine also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and recovery from domestic violence and separation.
She begins by listening to what is happening now and by asking about goals for change. Sessions involve straightforward conversation about patterns that trace back to family of origin and current life demands. Lorraine uses talk, practical exercises, and skill-building to address daily problems and recurring patterns.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to adjust unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early roles and closeness affect present relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and dialectical behavior strategies appear when useful for coping and emotional regulation.
Lorraine’s background includes long-term work providing both individual and group therapy, and supervising other clinicians. She has a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work at an advanced standing level. Past work with diverse populations informs her focus on cultural issues and LGBT concerns.
Clients can expect clear, pragmatic discussions about patterns and practical steps to change them. The therapist emphasizes collaboration on goals and follows approaches that match the client’s needs and preferences.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early family roles and closeness affect present relationships and communication; it can help when patterns from the past keep showing up in adult partnerships and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, test methods in session, and adjust the plan together based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client’s needs and preferences rather than applying one fixed method.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can still teach behavioral skills, guide mindfulness practices, and run structured CBT or ACT exercises in virtual appointments, which helps carry new habits into everyday life.
