About Lorraine
Lorraine Gonzalez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, depression, ADHD, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Lorraine focuses on practical conversation and problem-solving. She listens for patterns that leave people tending to others at their own expense, such as difficulty saying no, people-pleasing, or feeling overwhelmed by a partner's moods or crises. She helps clients name those patterns and try small, achievable changes in how they set limits and communicate.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and everyday functioning. Lorraine uses clear, step-by-step strategies when clients want them, and she also spends time on the emotions behind difficult choices. She aims to balance skills practice with chance to talk through painful memories or resentments.
Clients can expect direct feedback, concrete tools, and regular check-ins on progress. Lorraine lets the client guide the pace and goals of therapy while offering structure when someone wants it. She accepts international clients and meets people where language matters by working in English and Spanish.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking to make sure they fit into day-to-day life.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach teaches concrete communication and boundary-setting skills, useful for people who struggle with people-pleasing or saying no. Another approach addresses mood and anxiety by helping people recognize and shift thoughts and routines that keep stress and low mood active. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. She reviews progress and adjusts tools so sessions stay useful and relevant. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer phone conversations to avoid video, while others use video for face-to-face interaction; discussing format choices is part of the first appointment and helps match the plan to everyday life.Areas of focus
