- LCSW
Hello! I am a LCSW licensed in New York State with around 10 years of experience providing individual, couples/family and group psychotherapy.
I have worked with clients who experience a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, trauma/PTSD, anger, personality disorders, mood disorders and OCD/hoarding issues. I have worked with ages 7 and up so am open to all age groups as well.
I believe everyone deserves to have support, compassion and happiness in their life. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, dialectical-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic primarily but will always tailor treatment to your individual needs.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She knows what shes doing
Very nice and professional, gives a lot of good options on ways to calm down from anxiety and depression symptoms. Would recommend for anyone looking for a good therapist.
Third times the charm, she's exactly what I've been looking for. She keeps me in check, challenges me to analyze my thoughts, and gives me a little perspective. I really appreciate her
She is amazing
Knows how to get the emotional side of me out and talk about things I normally wouldn’t
She is fantastic!
Working with Lorraine has been a wonderful experience. In just a short amount of time together she's had a huge impact on me. She easy to speak to, provides thoughtful feedback, and makes herself available if and when I need. I look forward to continuing to work with her.
Lorraine has been a great help in therapy. She pushed me when I was uncomfortable and I appreciate her for that, as I was able to really grow through it. I learnt to face my habits/insecurities up front and deal with them instead of constantly running away from them. Thank you Lorraine.
