About Lorraine

Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Colorado. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, depression, career questions, and life changes. Lorrie uses a straightforward, supportive style that helps people reconnect with what matters most.

She listens to what you bring and helps you find the next practical step. Lorrie draws on 13 years of experience as an LMFT to guide conversations and set small, realistic goals.

Background and approach

She blends talk-based methods with hands-on strategies to manage stress and easing anxiety. Sessions aim to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming. Her approach centers on working with the client’s priorities.

She helps identify patterns in relationships, communication, and family dynamics. From there she supports new ways of relating and clearer decision-making. Lorrie uses evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to reduce unhelpful thoughts and increase present-moment coping.

Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on connection and feelings. Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs clarity about next steps. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, divorce and separation, and midlife transitions.

Sessions are offered in English and she is available to work with international clients as well. Practical details: sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Communication formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the chosen appointment times.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client’s own goals. It helps when someone needs a space to sort priorities and reconnect with what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-focused ideas help people notice and name emotions and improve connection in relationships by working on how feelings and reactions shape interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a technique and adjusting it based on what feels helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to check in between appointments. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel and let therapy happen from familiar surroundings while still using the same therapeutic tools and goals as in-person work.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
