Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak, LMFT

Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, career shifts, and parenting challenges. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away and listens for the concerns that feel most urgent to you. Her approach aims to help people reconnect with themselves and find clearer next steps.

With 13 years as an LMFT and broader helping experience across decades, Lorrie centers sessions on what each person brings. She follows a client-centered stance, which means the conversation is guided by the issues you name as most important. That direction shapes how she uses tools and techniques during sessions.

Lorrie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people notice and name core feelings that influence relationships and choices. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are woven in to support clearer decision making and steadier coping.

Her work addresses a range of concerns including relationship and family problems, grief, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, body image, codependency, career and life-purpose struggles, and midlife transitions. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and isolation.

Sessions are offered to English-speaking clients in Colorado and to international clients. Lorrie offers flexible formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She guides each person toward the next practical step and helps build sustainable habits for change.

How Lorrie Uses Therapeutic Methods Online

Lorraine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on clear steps and small experiments that reduce anxiety or lift mood. Client-Centered Therapy is another mainstay and places the client's priorities first; the therapist follows your lead and helps you find your own voice in decisions and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lorrie talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you decide whether to emphasize CBT, draw on emotion-focused ideas, or mix in mindfulness and motivational interviewing to build coping skills and motivation.

Online formats let therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, frequent touchpoints and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and practice new skills in day-to-day life.
