About Lorraine
Lorraine Kenowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with over three decades of practice. She draws on 32 years of experience to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Lorraine emphasizes practical help and steady support for everyday struggles.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. Her role is to listen, reflect, and help people find ways forward. Sessions focus on building useful skills and clearer thinking rather than long explanations.
How Lorraine works
Her work often centers on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career setbacks, and the effects of trauma or grief. Lorraine also pays attention to caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, and seasonal mood changes. She helps people manage symptoms related to bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue in everyday terms.
Therapeutic tools include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to solve problems, reduce distress, and strengthen coping skills. Lorraine adapts her approach to fit what the person needs in the moment.
People who come for help can expect a calm, respectful pace and direct suggestions for small changes. Lorraine aims to make progress feel manageable and realistic. She supports clients as they try new ways of responding and build on what already works for them.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what matters, and helps them discover their own solutions. This approach can be useful for relationship worries, self esteem, and big life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches steps to change them. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can help with intense mood swings and relationship strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lorraine will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on goals and what feels helpful. The decision is collaborative and may change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see and hear each other for a fuller conversation, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when a written format feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent contact between sessions.
