About Lorianne

Lorianne Martin is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She focuses on family and relationship concerns and helps people facing trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers a straightforward, practical approach and invites families to talk through their immediate problems and next steps.

Her work includes supporting families raising grandchildren and those caring for children with special needs. She has training related to autism and supports parents navigating assessment and early intervention questions.

Background and approach

She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with practical motivational work to help build daily routines and clearer communication. In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on small steps that can ease stress.

She uses tools and strategies clients can try between appointments to improve coping and reduce conflict. Lorianne describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens to each family’s story and helps shape a realistic plan for change.

That plan can include strategies for behavior, communication, and managing trauma reminders. She offers both in-person independent practice and remote options so families can connect in ways that fit their life. Lorianne emphasizes honesty, practical guidance, and steady support during difficult transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for families

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and make sense of painful events. It focuses on reducing the power of traumatic memories and easing strong reactions so daily life can feel more manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change, useful when someone feels stuck about parenting or care decisions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each family or individual about needs, goals, and preferences and then shape a plan together. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress unfolds and priorities shift.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit appointments into busy family schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care during life’s disruptions. They allow families to use the same therapeutic tools and homework assignments they would get in person, while offering flexibility to connect from home or another convenient place.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
