    About Lorraine

    Lorraine Kenowski is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with over three decades of experience. She offers calm, steady support for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, motivation challenges, and confidence concerns. Lorraine emphasizes respect for each person’s story and strengths as the starting place for change.

    She focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Sessions are aimed at small, manageable goals that build forward momentum. Lorraine listens without judgment and helps clients name what matters most to them before deciding what comes next.

    Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods, including motivational interviewing to strengthen resolve, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. She adapts these strategies to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

    Many people come for help with relationships, parenting stresses, grief, trauma, or career transitions. Lorraine also supports those facing caregiver strain, aging concerns, seasonal affective disorder, and issues common to veterans and young adults. She works with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression while addressing burnout and compassion fatigue.

    Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client. Lorraine helps set clear goals, teaches coping skills, and checks in on progress so adjustments can be made. Her style is practical, respectful, and oriented toward real-life changes.

  2. How her approaches translate to online care

    Motivational interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on drawing out a client's goals and building their motivation step by step. Client-centered therapy emphasizes curiosity, acceptance, and listening so the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify what matters most.

    Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. These methods are often used together to address anxiety, depression, motivation, relationship struggles, and coping with life transitions.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lorraine aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and preferences, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan. The goal is a clear, shared path forward rather than a fixed technique imposed from the start.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend regular check-ins. Online meetings can also allow shorter follow-ups when needed, or let someone choose a quieter setting for focused work without rearranging a whole day.
