About Lorraine
Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, and challenges with parenting and sleep. She also supports people facing trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Lorraine practices in New York and works in English.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She begins by listening to what is happening now and asking about goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between appointments. Lorraine blends techniques so the work fits each person rather than using one fixed method.
Over nearly three decades she worked in a large organization providing individual and group therapy and supervising other clinicians for 21 years. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work, with advanced standing. Her credential is LCSW-R in New York.
In sessions she may draw on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance-focused strategies to reduce struggle with difficult emotions, and attachment-based work to improve close relationships. She also uses mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior approaches when useful. The focus is on clear, achievable steps and steady progress toward stated goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based action rather than getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where avoidance has become a pattern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety, mood, and sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences influence trust and communication, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That choice may change as progress is made, and she combines tools to make the plan fit the person rather than forcing a single method.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to continue care during life changes or when juggling work and family responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting so sessions still focus on clear goals and practical exercises.
