About Lorraine

Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people rebuild self esteem and find clearer direction in daily life. She speaks plainly and focuses on what feels most urgent to each person. Sessions are aimed at helping people reconnect with themselves and hear their own needs again.

She draws on 13 years as an LMFT and many more years in the helping professions. Lorrie meets people where they are and follows the priorities they bring to session. She helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and name the next practical steps they want to take.

Lorrie uses a mix of talk-based methods and skill work. She often pairs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening to spot thoughts that hold people back. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices are used to help people tune into feelings and calm stress reactions.

Her background includes work with career shifts, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as body image, codependency, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver stress. The approach emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who work with Lorrie can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and guidance toward clearer choices. She supports people aiming to improve coping, reduce anxiety and stress, and build more stable self esteem. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site’s start process to match and schedule a session.

How Lorrie brings therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what’s shared, and helps the client find their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. These tools help with worry, low mood, and self esteem work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Lorrie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. Together they review goals, try tools, and adjust the plan based on what helps in real life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also allow people to use mindfulness or skill practice between meetings so therapy fits into daily routines.
