About Lorraine
Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is an LMFT (licensed marriage and family therapist) with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, grief, career questions, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and issues related to adoption and foster care.
Lorrie works from what a person brings to the first session and follows the topic that feels most urgent. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions emphasize finding clearer options and next steps the client can try between meetings.
Her practice blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and emotionally-focused techniques. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also inform her approach, offering short strategies for stress and decision-making. Lorrie describes reconnection to oneself as a starting place for change.
She draws on experience with blended family issues, communication problems, codependency, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. Lorrie also addresses body image, isolation, midlife concerns, life purpose, and family of origin issues. The work tends to be practical and focused on everyday adjustments rather than abstract theory.
Lorrie practices in Colorado and offers services in English. International clients may be seen as noted in her profile. Prospective clients are invited to confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety. Online sessions can use short exercises and homework to test new responses between meetings, such as tracking thoughts or trying behavioral experiments.Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. In remote sessions this often looks like focused conversation and attention to the client's priorities to decide next practical steps.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotional responses and how they shape relationships. Online conversations can help people name and track those emotional patterns and practice different ways of connecting or responding.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches based on goals, needs, and personal preferences rather than assuming a single method fits every concern.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the session options before booking. In general, remote therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins when needed, and let clients use different interventions from their own context. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the format chosen so work continues between sessions.
