About Lorraine
Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a Colorado LMFT with 13 years of experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and life changes. Lorrie also supports people dealing with career questions, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin issues.
She prefers to start where the client already is. Sessions focus on the issue that feels most pressing. Lorrie helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and find clearer next steps. She describes her role as a guide rather than an expert who tells clients what to do.
Lorrie draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to name unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness practices are included to help regulate feelings and improve connection in relationships.
Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, body image, and divorce or separation. She also addresses feelings of emptiness, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.
Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Clients can expect gentle challenge, reflective feedback, and specific strategies for coping. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching steps to schedule a first session and complete a short intake questionnaire.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online sessions let Lorrie follow a person's lead, help name the loudest concern, and shape each meeting around that topic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions she can help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments between meetings to test what changes help reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorrie works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts techniques over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Specific session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports trying mindfulness exercises or CBT homework between meetings so therapy fits everyday life rather than adding extra tasks.
