About Lorraine

Lorraine Stamp is a seasoned clinician who has practiced social work since 1994 and brings 28 years of experience to her therapeutic work in New York.

Background and approach

She holds a Masters in Social Work and practices as an LCSW-R, offering compassionate support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems.

Lorraine combines practical skill with a warm, client-focused presence informed by long-term clinical practice and supervisory roles. Her style emphasizes collaboration and listening first: she begins by understanding each person’s situation and goals, then tailors an approach drawing from cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, acceptance-based strategies, attachment work, and dialectical skills among others.

Lorraine’s background includes extensive work with individuals, couples, and families and a history of training and supervising other clinicians. Outside of practice she values family time, swimming, cooking, and caring for rescue cats, which inform her grounded and relatable approach to therapy.

Approach-focused care delivered online

Lorraine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for reducing symptoms like anxiety or depression. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes building psychological flexibility by clarifying values and practicing acceptance alongside committed action. Both approaches are practical and skills-oriented, suited to concerns such as stress, mood shifts, trauma recovery, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lorraine begins by listening to what matters to each client, discusses treatment options, and adjusts methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so care remains responsive and focused on measurable steps forward.

Online therapy with Lorraine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and use therapeutic tools between sessions for real-world practice.
