About Lorraine

Lorraine Stamp is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of practice. She greets people with calm focus and a straightforward plan. Lorraine listens first, then helps set clear goals to work toward change.

She began her career in 1994 and spent many years providing therapy to individuals and groups. Lorraine also supervised other therapists for over two decades. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work, earned with advanced standing.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches depending on the person's needs. Expect tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness alongside work on emotions and relationships. Lorraine also draws on acceptance-based ideas and attachment-focused thinking to address stress, trauma, and relationship concerns.

She has worked with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, caregiving stress, and challenges related to identity and intimacy. Intellectual disability appears among the areas listed as a focus in her practice materials.

Outside of work she enjoys swimming and cooking, and she is a parent and grandparent. Lorraine aims to make therapy practical and usable so people can carry changes into daily life.

Step 3

Approaches that guide online work and choice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skill-building by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps repair how people connect with others, which can reduce conflict and improve intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and new issues come up.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and caregiving, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about the specific session formats offered so arrangements match real life and daily routines.
