About Lorraine
Lorraine Kenowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 32 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, motivation struggles, low self-esteem, career difficulties, and depression. Lorraine describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on practical ways to move forward.
Her approach centers on clear, hands-on work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person's goals and on mindfulness techniques to build awareness and calm.
Sessions tend to focus on specific problems and on small, testable steps people can try between meetings. Lorraine helps people break big issues into manageable parts. She works on building skills for coping with life changes, relationship strain, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns.
She also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, aging issues, seasonal mood changes, and challenges faced by veterans or young adults. Practical topics such as communication problems, career transitions, and compassion fatigue are addressed with straightforward tools and short-term strategies.
People who prefer a structured, problem-solving approach often find this style useful. Lorraine aims to help clients identify patterns that cause pain and to practice new responses that fit daily life.
How Lorraine Uses Structured Approaches in Online Sessions
Lorraine commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress or low mood. CBT sessions focus on clear problems, specific goals, and small experiments to try between meetings. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen for each person’s priorities and to shape goals around what matters most to them.Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements are used when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT techniques teach specific skills for tolerating distress, managing strong emotions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are practical and skills-based, aimed at day-to-day improvements rather than abstract discussion.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation guides session focus and the types of exercises or homework proposed.
