About Lorraine
Lorraine Kenowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 32 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, motivation, career issues, and young adult issues listed among her focus areas. Lorraine relies on practical conversation and clear goals rather than jargon.
She treats trauma, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue in straightforward terms. Lorraine also addresses aging and caregiver stress, communication problems, seasonal affective disorder, veterans' concerns, and women's issues when relevant to the person in front of her.
Her approach centers on the client's perspective. Lorraine uses client-centered methods so the client's own goals guide each session. She incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing appear in her work to increase awareness and strengthen commitment to change. Sessions focus on practical skills, small experiments, and steps that fit daily life. Lorraine emphasizes building confidence and motivation one step at a time.
Clients can expect direct conversation about what is getting in the way now, realistic options to try, and regular review of progress. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort where the client's experience directs the pace and priorities.
How her approaches translate into online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's priorities first. Online sessions using this approach focus on what the person wants to change and build sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises, thought records, and homework to try between meetings to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT tools or adding mindfulness skills when stress and emotion regulation are central concerns.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between school or work commitments. If video is difficult, other formats can sometimes offer a simpler way to connect - check the available options and choose what matches daily life and comfort.
