About Lorraine
Lorraine Asti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She uses a blend of practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and problems tied to relationships and life changes. Lorraine keeps language direct and sessions focused on actionable steps that fit daily life.
With eight years of experience, she draws from cognitive-behavioral ideas, acceptance-based work, attachment perspectives, and client-centered listening. Lorraine helps people who struggle with addiction, grief, trauma, sleep and eating concerns, and self-esteem issues. She also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue.
Her style aims to balance problem-solving with emotional understanding. Conversations often include noticing patterns, practicing new skills, and making small changes that feel doable. Lorraine pays attention to how relationships and past attachment experiences shape current reactions.
Clients can expect a direct but warm approach. Lorraine uses acceptance and commitment techniques along with dialectical behavior strategies when helpful. She adapts work to individual needs rather than following one fixed method.
Lorraine works in New York and provides services in English. She invites people to talk about practical goals like managing anger, improving communication, or rebuilding routine after loss. The focus is on steady progress through clear, collaborative steps.
How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interferes with daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and coping after loss. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and communication, helping people understand and change patterns that affect close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful and then try methods together. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when necessary. It can also let people use different practice moments during their day, such as applying new skills between sessions, so therapy fits real life rather than staying only in the office.
