About Lorraine
Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps parents and caregivers find clearer footing during stressful times. She focuses on practical steps to ease anxiety, manage stress, and rebuild confidence. Many people come to her feeling lost between work, family, and daily demands; she aims to help them reconnect with what matters most to them.
She listens first and follows the client’s lead. Lorrie uses everyday conversation and simple exercises rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She draws on 13 years as an LMFT and decades working in helping roles to offer steady, straightforward guidance. Her approach mixes talking, skill practice, and mindfulness. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding.
She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to improve important relationships and promote clearer communication. Lorrie often supports parents dealing with blended family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, or the strain of caregiver responsibilities. She also addresses issues such as grief, body image, career change, and midlife transitions.
The focus is on small, doable changes that fit a busy life. Sessions are aimed at finding specific next steps. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client's priorities guide the work.
People who want direct conversation, practical tools, and a calm presence may find her style a good match.

How Lorrie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify priorities, regain confidence, and decide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress and to create new coping habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and shift patterns in important relationships so they can communicate with more clarity and connection.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Lorrie will help clients choose or blend methods based on their goals, concerns, and preferences. Early sessions are used to figure out which strategies feel most helpful and to set clear, realistic aims for moving forward.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow open conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting schedules and work demands while keeping sessions practical and focused.
