About Lorraine

Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak offers support to people navigating stress, anxiety, career decisions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and midlife transitions.

Background and approach

With 13 years as an LMFT and decades in the helping profession, Lorrie centers the work on each person's priorities and helps them reconnect with their own values and voice.

She pays attention to issues such as compassion fatigue, body image, codependency, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and life purpose when they emerge in therapy. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical tools.

Lorrie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to identify patterns and shift unhelpful thinking. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are woven in when useful to build motivation and calm, and she adapts sessions to what clients bring in the moment.

Based in Colorado and licensed as an LMFT, she accepts international clients and works with people ready to explore change with a guided, respectful partner at their side.

How Lorrie's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Lorrie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and mood. This approach breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can experiment with changes that produce measurable differences. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, accepting stance that prioritizes the client's perspective and encourages self-directed growth while building trust and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lorrie collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens for what feels most pressing and then combines techniques in a way that makes sense for the individual, inviting feedback and adjustment as work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it possible to receive consistent support from Colorado or abroad while fitting sessions into work, family, and travel routines. The range of formats supports varied pacing and communication styles so clients can choose what helps them engage most effectively.
