    About Lorraine

    Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, and life changes. She works with clients on parenting, relationship strain, grief, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client in the moment.

    Lorrie starts by listening and following the concerns you bring. She aims to reconnect people with their own voice and sense of direction. Her style is collaborative - she supports clients in naming goals and choosing steps that fit their life.

    Her clinical work draws on several approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused strategies, and mindfulness practices. These help with shifting unhelpful thoughts, building motivation for change, and improving emotional awareness.

    Lorrie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT, based in Colorado, and she has worked in the helping professions for many years. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and body image concerns.

    Her sessions can include practical skills for managing stress and relationships, short coaching-style conversations, and reflective work to clarify values and life purpose. The aim is to leave each session with a clearer next step that feels doable.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and confidence for practical steps. Client-centered therapy centers on understanding each person's experience, offering nonjudgmental support and empathy to help them find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes that can improve mood and stress management.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. That conversation is ongoing and may shift as needs change, so clients help shape the plan over time.

    Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow brief check-ins between commitments, or let people choose an environment that reduces distractions. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to work in remote conversations, focusing on practical steps, coaching-style guidance, and emotional reflection to move toward your goals.
