About Lorraine

Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of practice. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, or sleep difficulties. Lorraine also supports those facing trauma, substance concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and questions about intimacy or identity.

She begins by listening to the client’s story and clarifying practical goals. Sessions focus on real tools and step-by-step changes rather than abstract theory. Lorraine uses a mix of methods so each plan fits the person in front of her.

Over 28 years she worked both with individuals and in larger organizations, providing therapy and supervising other clinicians for 21 years. Lorraine holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master of Social Work, earned with advanced standing. She practices in New York and uses the credential LCSW-R.

Her approach blends evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness and attachment-focused ideas. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered work to help people build skills and get unstuck. Sessions often include guided exercises, practical coping plans, and discussion tailored to personal values.

Outside the office she enjoys swimming and cooking. She is a parent and grandparent and cares for rescue cats. Lorraine aims to make therapy a collaborative process where people leave with clearer steps and a sense of progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match what matters to you and can help with anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions today. This approach helps people improve closeness, trust, and how they handle conflict or loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorraine will explore the client’s goals, history, and day-to-day needs and then suggest a mix of approaches to try. The decision about method is collaborative and can change as goals evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue care after a move or during life changes. Ask about the available formats during the matching and scheduling step so you know what to expect.
