About Lorraine
Lorraine Stamp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered (LCSW-R) based in New York with 28 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, grief, and a wide range of life changes. Lorraine notices practical problems first and helps people set clear, reachable goals.
She begins sessions by listening closely to what is happening now. Then she and the client agree on a few immediate aims and steps to try. Lorraine draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change thinking patterns and on mindfulness to build steady attention. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior approaches to help regulate strong emotions.
Her background includes long clinical work in an organizational setting where she provided therapy, ran groups, and supervised other therapists for over two decades. Lorraine holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in social work; she is listed as LCSW-R in New York. That history gives her a mix of clinical experience and practical problem-solving skills.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and simple exercises between sessions. Lorraine has worked with people dealing with parenting strains, relationship splits, addiction, and mood disorders. She also addresses identity and LGBTQ concerns and issues tied to attachment and abandonment.
Outside work she enjoys swimming, cooking, and family life as a mother and grandmother. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the platform steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck in self-judgment. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on finding and testing thoughts that keep problems going and then practicing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and difficulties with sleep or eating.Finding the best approach is something the therapist figures out together with the client. Lorraine will review what the person brings, try a few methods, and recommend what fits goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel practical and relevant to everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekly routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Different techniques translate well to remote sessions: CBT homework, mindfulness practices, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches can all be used across distance while focusing on concrete steps to improve daily functioning.
