About Lorraine

Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression, and ADHD. She greets new clients warmly and begins by listening to what is happening now. Lorraine focuses on practical goals and clear steps people can use between sessions.

Lorraine earned a Master of Social Work and has a long history of providing therapy to individuals and groups.

Background and approach

She spent many years supervising other therapists at a large organization. That experience shaped how she organizes treatment and supports people through hard moments. Her approach blends straightforward skills training with attention to personal values and attachment patterns.

She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used to reduce struggle and increase focus on what matters. Sessions tend to be collaborative and aimed at concrete changes.

Lorraine listens first, helps set realistic goals, and then practices new skills with clients. She often gives simple exercises to try between sessions so progress continues outside the therapy hour. Outside work she enjoys swimming, cooking, and family time with her two children and three grandchildren.

Lorraine also has three rescue cats and values a down-to-earth, supportive style in therapy.

How Lorraine’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings show up. It is useful for life transitions, anxiety, and when someone wants more meaning in daily routines.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will listen, discuss goals, and help choose strategies that match the person's needs and preferences. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts methods based on what works in practice.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins, shorter conversations, or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
