More about Lorraine

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor utilizing an eclectic approach to therapy, but primarily using cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and solution focused therapy techniques. I provide a supportive space for clients to share their struggles with anxiety, stress, depression, self-confidence/self-esteem, unresolved underlying issues, relationship, grief and loss related issues. I work with my clients as a team to help them better understand themselves, their strengths, how to utilize those strengths, and find healthy coping strategies to manage difficult feelings and situations.

I received my Master's degree from Nova Southeastern University and have been providing psychotherapy services throughout my community for the past 10 years. I have worked with adolescent and adult clients from just about every walk of life within correctional facilities, recovery and rehabilitation programs, in-community counseling programs, and in private practice. I am now extending my reach by engaging in the online platform. I hope to help you find relief and helpful tools to carry you forward to a more peaceful and healthful life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is so helpful and supportive! I have been working with her for a few months now and she has really motivated me to make healthy changes in my life. I’m so happy I found her and I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

Reviewed November 2021

It's only been a month so far, but I highly recommend Lorraine. She is patient, understanding and is an expert in her field. She's given me great advice and support and I always enjoy talking to her and sharing my experiences. Most of all, I feel very comfortable speaking with her.

Reviewed November 2021

I felt immediately comfortable and we have been able to dig right into some deep issues. I have seen many therapists in my life and Lorraine is by far the most helpful thus far.

I’ve only been working with Lorraine for a few weeks but she has made such a huge impact on life. She is quick to respond, makes me feel comfortable even when talking about heavy subjects, and her input has helped me tremendously. She understands my sense of humor and I never feel judged. I highly recommend working with her if you have the opportunity!

Reviewed July 2021

When I first started therapy, I didn’t think I was going to be able to talk about my problems for a few sessions. After ten minutes with Lorraine, I was finding myself opening up. She has a calming energy and is a very good listener. She offers good advice and asks questions that I would not have been able to think of myself and it really helps me dig deeper and find healing. I don’t feel a pressure to talk or judgement after I say what’s on my mind. She is a wonderful therapist and I’m thankful it’s her profession.

Reviewed June 2021

Lorraine is the brightness spot in a dark day she can pull me out of my worst times and bring me back to reality. I hear her voice frequently when I'm having a bad day, to close my eyes and take a deep breath, and to stop asking and worrying about the what if's and what I can't control.

Reviewed March 2021

I really enjoy her, I don’t feel like she judges me for my choices. Sometimes I go a couple days without responding and she makes the effort to check in on me to make sure I’m okay. She really listens and wants to help.

I have seen 4 different counselors for help over the past 6 years, and Lorraine was by far the most successful in helping me feel better again. I was matched with her in a very dark time for me, which she was able to help go above and beyond, and met almost up to 3 hours a week to make sure I made it out on the other side. I could never say the same about any other counselor. She fostered a safe space, so safe, that for the first time, ever, I was able to open up about my eating disorder. My counselors before never got to know me on a deep enough level or were rushing me out their door after 45 minutes. I needed someone who would understand the struggles of a 20 something depressed, bulimic, riddled with anxiety, and care about me. I just needed someone to listen and care. Lorraine did just that. She gave me topics to reflect on introspectively, worksheets to fill out, and various forms of therapy to implement into my daily life. I have regained better control of my eating and a lot of that has to do with my happiness which Lorraine played such a large role in bringing back to me. Thank you so much Lorraine, I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!

Reviewed March 2019
