About Lorinda
Lorinda Stark offers calm, practical support for adults dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and life transitions. She helps people regain motivation, build self-esteem, and manage addictive patterns. Lorinda writes in plain terms and focuses on small, usable steps that fit everyday life.
She uses conversations that center the person’s own goals. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and remove barriers to action. That includes tools to manage anxious thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily functioning.
How Lorinda works
With six years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Tennessee, Lorinda blends several approaches to meet each person where they are. She draws from cognitive behavioral strategies to spot thinking patterns and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-driven change. Sessions can include motivational interviewing techniques to boost readiness for change.
The work moves at a practical pace, focusing on skills you can try between sessions. Lorinda also addresses caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and concerns that arise near the end of life. Other areas she helps with include trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, communication problems, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and veteran-related concerns.
Her aim is straightforward: listen without judgment, set clear goals, and help people take steps toward a more manageable daily life.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that reflect what matters to you. It can help when worry, low mood, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and teaches concrete skills to change behavior and mood. It often suits anxiety, depression, and obsessive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorinda will discuss these methods with clients and choose techniques based on their goals, values, and preferences. That collaborative process helps match practical tools to everyday problems rather than prescribing one fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to share short updates or get support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into a busy life.
