About Lorraine
Lorraine LaPorte is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She offers straightforward support for motivation, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, meant for people ready to take a first step toward change.
Her work emphasizes building trust and understanding. Lorraine creates an open space where clients can talk about what matters to them without judgment.
Background and approach
She listens for what each person needs and adapts the conversation to be practical and useful. She uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Sessions include skill-building, reality-based problem solving, and reflection on what values matter most.
Lorraine explains things in plain language and helps set manageable goals. Her practice pays attention to attachment issues and how early relationships shape current habits and expectations. That focus often helps with codependency, communication problems, and struggles around trust and closeness.
Lorraine also supports people facing life changes, grief, and questions about purpose. With three years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - in Pennsylvania, she draws on several approaches that suit different needs. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person.
Lorraine aims to help people build skills they can use outside of sessions so change lasts.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skills-based care online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how trust, closeness, and separation influence coping and communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That means sessions are collaborative, and approaches may be blended or adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
