Lorraine Stamp, LCSW-R

Lorraine Stamp, LCSW-R, is a licensed social worker with 28 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and intimacy-related issues. She practices from New York and brings a warm, straightforward style to sessions. Lorraine aims to understand what matters most to each person and to set practical, achievable goals together.

Her approach is conversational and problem-focused. She begins by listening carefully to a person’s story. Then she and the client set goals and try strategies that fit the client’s life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs.

Over nearly three decades Lorraine has worked with many kinds of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, codependency, divorce and separation, and work or career stress. Her background includes long-term clinical work and supervising other therapists for 21 years.

Lorraine uses a mix of methods to match the situation. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance-based tools, attachment-informed perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. Mindfulness and client-centered listening are part of how she works in session.

She holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master of Social Work at advanced standing, and maintains her New York LCSW-R credential. Sessions are offered in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches inform online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that contribute to distress. It is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections; it can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will listen to a person’s goals and try methods that match those needs. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts techniques based on what helps most over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand, or make it simpler to keep therapy going during life changes. Licensed professionals can use online work to teach practical skills, practice communication, and track progress between meetings without promising a particular format.
