About Lorinda
Lorinda Stark is a Tennessee-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She brings six years of clinical experience to her practice and aims to create a welcoming environment where clients can speak about their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Lorinda works with issues such as self esteem, motivation, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD, and also attends to concerns that include caregiver stress, aging and geriatric matters, and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive patterns. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods to meet each person's needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered principles, and motivational interviewing.
Lorinda supports clients through practical skill building and reflective exploration so they can identify values, adjust unhelpful patterns, and move toward meaningful goals. She invites those ready to pursue change to take a first step and offers guidance throughout the therapeutic process from intake to ongoing sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, obsessive thoughts, or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing internal experiences without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward what matters. Both approaches can be useful for stress, motivation, coping with life changes, and patterns related to grief, trauma, or addictive behaviors.Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lorinda will work with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, combining skill-building and reflective work as appropriate. The aim is to tailor sessions so clients feel the approach supports meaningful change rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy with Lorinda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how people connect. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations and allow ongoing support even when circumstances change.
