Lorraine Stamp

Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience. She offers a calm, practical approach for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, grief, and life transitions. Lorraine listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals together.

Lorraine blends several therapeutic styles to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings - breathing and mindfulness for stress, behavior tools for mood and sleep, and communication strategies for relationship problems. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based ideas to reduce struggle with painful feelings.

Her background includes long-term clinical work providing therapy to groups and individuals, and supervising other therapists for over two decades. Lorraine holds a Bachelor in Psychology and a Master in Social Work, and her credential is LCSW-R in New York. She draws on wide experience supporting people with trauma, addictions, parenting strain, caregiving stress, and identity-related concerns.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Lorraine aims to make therapy feel useful from the start by setting small, measurable steps toward your goals. She also uses mindfulness practices and imagery when those fit a person's preferences.

Outside work she enjoys swimming, cooking, and family life with children, grandchildren, and rescue cats. The initial meeting is an opportunity to outline concerns, agree on goals, and decide on a working plan together.

How these approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward a life that matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for managing anxiety, improving sleep and eating habits, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflict get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress and needs evolve. The choice is collaborative and practical.

If you want online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking since they are not listed here. Many people find virtual therapy helpful because it reduces travel time, makes it easier to fit sessions into a workday, and can support steady practice of skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide short check-ins, longer therapy sessions, or focused skills work depending on what suits your schedule and goals.
