About Lorraine

Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of therapy experience. She focuses on men's wellbeing among a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, and ADHD. Lorraine greets new clients with a straightforward, listening-first approach to understand what matters most to them.

Lorraine draws on a mix of practical methods to match each person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas come through when relationships and early patterns are part of the work.

Clients can expect calm, direct conversations that focus on clear goals. Lorraine begins by asking about current struggles and what success would look like. From there she and the client plan doable steps and skills to practice between visits.

Her background includes long clinical experience in both individual and group settings plus supervisory work with other clinicians. Lorraine holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work, and she practices as an NY LCSW-R.

Outside the therapy room she enjoys swimming, cooking, family time, and caring for rescue cats. To start, she recommends a brief matching process so people can schedule sessions that fit their goals and timing.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It combines practical exercises with acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings to reduce being ruled by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning new behaviors to change mood and reactions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people shift interaction styles to get closer to the relationships they want.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She invites questions, adjusts methods over time, and explores what helps most for the specific problems presented.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and options that can reduce travel time. The therapist's biography does not list the exact formats offered, so confirm current session options before booking. A brief matching questionnaire and scheduling step will clarify how sessions are held and help arrange times that work with day-to-day demands.
