About Lorraine
Lorraine Stamp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 28 years of experience. She focuses on everyday problems people bring to therapy, such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and anger. Lorraine uses conversation, practical skills, and problem-solving to help people manage what feels overwhelming now.
Her style is straightforward and flexible. She begins by listening to what is happening and what the person hopes to change. Then she and the client agree on short-term goals and steps to try between sessions. Sessions can include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and guided reflection geared toward clear, manageable change.
Lorraine blends several evidence-informed approaches rather than following a single method. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior ideas to build emotion regulation skills, and acceptance-oriented methods to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships.
Her background includes long experience providing therapy to individuals and groups, and supervising other therapists for over two decades. Lorraine holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work, and she has worked across clinical settings since 1994.
People come for a range of concerns including parenting and family stress, intimacy and communication issues, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. Lorraine aims for clear, practical work that fits into everyday life.
How Lorraine’s approaches translate to online work
Lorraine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, which helps when anger or avoidance gets in the way.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how close relationships shape reactions and patterns. That work helps people improve communication and understand recurring conflicts without blaming themselves or others. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; she will work collaboratively to figure out which approaches match a person's goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make it simpler to attend when leaving home would be difficult. Lorraine uses practical tools and exercises that transfer to everyday settings so the work done in sessions can be applied between meetings.
