About Lorraine
LCSW Lorraine LaPorte practices in Pennsylvania and has three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and self-esteem issues. Lorraine uses several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
She helps people who are struggling with coping during life changes, grief, career stress, or compassion fatigue. Sessions are oriented toward practical skills and clearer thinking. Lorraine works with clients to identify patterns that keep problems recurring and to try new ways of responding to hard situations.
Her work often includes attention to attachment styles and to codependency or communication problems within close relationships. She also addresses body image, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. These topics are explored with straightforward conversations and exercises drawn from CBT, DBT, and ACT.
In session Lorraine encourages clients to name what matters to them and to practice small changes between meetings. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's concerns and pacing. Progress is tracked through concrete goals and repeated skill practice.
People considering work with Lorraine complete a short intake and discuss what they want to change. She will help set realistic steps, suggest appropriate therapeutic tools, and adjust the focus as needs evolve.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values. It uses short exercises and homework to build small, meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns that keep problems active and teaches practical skills to change them, which often fits well with structured session goals. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping clients address codependency or trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in about what is helping and what needs to change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current session options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, allow brief check-ins when a full session is not needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help fit therapy into everyday life while focusing on measurable skills, communication practice, and coping strategies.
