About Lorraine
Lorraine Stamp is a New York LCSW-R with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem issues, and related problems. Lorraine begins by listening and clarifying what the client wants to change.
She keeps sessions straightforward. Lorraine asks about current struggles, helps set clear goals, and uses practical tools to address patterns that cause pain. Her background includes long-term work providing therapy to groups and individuals, plus supervising other therapists for 21 years.
Lorraine holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work at an advanced standing level. She brings decades of client work and supervision to each case. That experience informs how she chooses methods and stays flexible in the room.
Her approach is eclectic. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches, and mindfulness practices. Expect a mix of talk, skills practice, and homework when appropriate.
Outside the therapy setting she swims, cooks, and spends time with family and rescue cats. Lorraine describes therapy as collaborative; the early sessions focus on listening, defining goals, and agreeing on practical steps toward those goals.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her practice focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and learning practical ways to act on those values despite difficult emotions. This can help with anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes by teaching small, value-driven steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior patterns. CBT offers concrete exercises and short homework tasks that work well across sessions for mood, anxiety, and relationship concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements provide skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are practical for people who want tools for intense feelings or recurring conflict.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Lorraine will listen to what is happening, talk through goals, and suggest which approaches may fit best. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many clients appreciate online sessions because they make it easier to fit therapy into work or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow focused, skills-based check-ins. Some formats are simpler when bandwidth or time is limited, and others allow more in-depth work; discuss practical needs with Lorraine when you schedule your first session.
