Lorraine Stamp, LCSW-R

Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 28 years of practice in New York. She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Lorraine uses straightforward techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and handle relationship and family stress.

She draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. Sessions often begin with a focused conversation about what is most pressing. Lorraine uses skill-building and thought-work to change unhelpful patterns and mindfulness to reduce overwhelm.

Her background includes long-term work providing therapy for individuals and groups, plus supervising other clinicians. Lorraine holds a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Social Work, and she carries the LCSW-R credential. That combination informs a practical, experience-based style.

In sessions clients can expect a calm tone and clear strategies. Lorraine offers tools for coping with trauma, grief, addiction, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with parenting stress, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and career strain.

Therapy is collaborative and goal-focused. Lorraine checks in on progress, adjusts methods, and teaches skills people can use between sessions. She aims to help people return to daily life feeling more capable and more in control.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Lorraine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and reactions to stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which can aid coping with loss, chronic stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people improve closeness and trust in relationships.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Lorraine approaches this collaboratively, listening to a person's story and goals before choosing techniques. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the approach stays relevant to the client's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation times. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief support, skill coaching, or when scheduling requires more flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and varying schedules.
