She trained as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and has six years of clinical experience. Lorraine draws on life experience and community work to keep therapy direct and relatable.
How Lorraine works
Sessions focus on clear goals, problem-solving, and building everyday skills that make life easier. Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. For trauma-related concerns she uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address distress and safety in tangible ways.
Lorraine emphasizes short-term strategies and longer-term coping skills depending on what each person needs. Before independent practice she led psycho-educational groups in Grand Rapids and founded community organizations focused on wellness and resilience. That background informs her style; she values practical education alongside emotional support.
Clients can expect straightforward guidance, gentle challenge, and encouragement to try new coping habits. Therapy sessions aim to build skills people can use outside sessions. Lorraine helps clients set achievable steps, practice new responses, and track progress.
Her focus is on helping people regain balance and develop the tools they need to handle life changes and stressors.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and working at the client's pace. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises and tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She often combines listening with practical skills training so sessions match what people need that week.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and practicing skills together. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for a longer check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, coaching-style support, or brief problem-solving between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
