Lorraine Stamp, LCSW-R

Lorraine Stamp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, practicing in New York with 28 years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among her areas of focus, along with trauma, depression, addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, and codependency.

She begins by listening carefully to what is happening now. Lorraine asks about current struggles and about what the client hopes to change. Sessions often involve setting short-term goals and checking progress in clear, practical ways.

Her background includes long-term work providing therapy to individuals and groups, plus supervising other clinicians for 21 years. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work where she achieved advanced standing. Her biography notes many clients have stayed in touch to share progress after therapy ended.

Lorraine uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws from cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people connect with values and notice painful thoughts without getting stuck.

Attachment-based and client-centered elements shape how she builds sessions, with attention to relationships and how people experience closeness. Dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness practices appear when emotion regulation and stress tolerance are priorities. The biography lists additional techniques such as guided imagery, motivational interviewing, and interpersonal work for depression.

Her stated areas of focus include a wide range of concerns from parenting and caregiver stress to codependency, abandonment, and domestic violence. Sessions are conducted in English in New York, and international clients are not accepted.
