About Lorraine

Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of practice. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with relationship stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and addiction-related issues. Lorraine speaks English and practices from New York as a LCSW-R.

She begins by listening to what is happening now. She asks about goals and priorities. Then she helps identify small, practical steps to move forward.

Sessions are conversational and grounded in real life rather than clinical jargon.

Background and approach

Lorraine trained with honors and holds a Bachelor in Psychology and a Master in Social Work. She spent 21 years providing therapy to individuals and groups while supervising other therapists at a large organization. That long clinical experience informs her steady, practical approach.

Her work combines several well-known tools, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered methods. She adapts techniques to fit each person and family rather than following a rigid plan. Parents can expect help with communication, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, and common parenting worries.

Lorraine also addresses intimacy, self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, bipolar mood management, and coping with life changes. When therapy starts, she focuses on clear, achievable goals. Progress is tracked through talk, practice between sessions, and problem-solving steps tailored to family life and daily routines.

Therapeutic approaches used in online family and relationship work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and big life transitions by clarifying what matters and building small steps toward those values.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape trust and closeness. It helps people and families improve communication, repair ruptures, and build more stable connections in their everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will talk with each person or family about needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods together. The process is collaborative and aims to match tools to the situation rather than following a single method.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier around family life and caregiving duties. Remote formats also let people keep therapy consistent during busy or changing routines while still using ACT and attachment-based exercises, skills practice, and problem-solving tailored to the family’s needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
