Lorraine Stamp, LCSW-R

Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of practice experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and many life transitions. Lorraine listens first, then helps people set clear goals and take practical steps toward them.

She draws on a mix of approaches to meet people where they are. Sessions focus on learning skills, noticing patterns, and trying out small changes between meetings. Lorraine uses evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance strategies to manage symptoms and build coping tools.

Her background includes long-term roles providing therapy, group work, and clinical supervision. Lorraine holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work, completed with advanced standing. Her credential is LCSW-R, licensed in New York.

Lorraine says the first visit is about listening and setting goals together. She helps clients clarify what matters most and creates a step-by-step plan to move toward those goals. Conversations are practical and focused on real-life problems like sleep, parenting strain, caregiver stress, or career transitions.

People especially consult her for aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, caregiver burnout, and complex stress related to trauma or loss. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Lorraine aims to offer steady support over time for those facing change or recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when difficult feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions by shifting attention toward what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to build more secure ways of relating and feeling safe in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic stance where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to support self-discovery and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Goals and strategies are revisited over time so the plan can shift as progress happens.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use strategies learned in sessions in real life between meetings, while maintaining the consistent, ongoing support that helps during transitions and recovery.
