Lorinda Stark , LCSW

Lorinda Stark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with six years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD. People drawn to her work often want clearer boundaries, better motivation, or relief from constant people-pleasing.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used to build and sustain momentum toward goals. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and reflects what matters most to each person.

Sessions tend to focus on real-life problems. Lorinda breaks big issues into small steps. She helps clients practice simple skills, like naming values, testing a new boundary, or changing an unhelpful thought. She encourages short, manageable experiments between sessions so progress can be measured.

Her work also addresses long-term stressors such as caregiving, aging, and grief. She has experience with concerns around control issues, dependent personality traits, codependency, and the effects of domestic violence. Veteran and armed forces issues are also listed among her focus areas.

Lorinda offers therapy in English and works from Tennessee state practice. If you want to try a different way of handling relationships or addictive patterns, she helps clarify next steps and supports practical changes.
