About Lorraine
Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a Colorado LMFT with 13 years of practice as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. Lorrie also supports people dealing with grief, career changes, caregiver strain, and blended family issues.
She takes what a client brings into session and follows that priority. Sessions focus on helping people reconnect with their own sense of direction. Lorrie uses straightforward conversation to help clients recognize the next steps they already know are possible.
Lorrie draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas and mindfulness techniques to help people notice feelings and respond differently. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when clients want clearer goals and practical movement forward.
Her background includes long experience in helping professions and work as a certified holistic life coach in addition to her LMFT credential. She mentions using Emotional Freedom Technique, sometimes called tapping, for stress and anxiety reduction.
Lorrie frames sessions as collaborative problem solving rather than prescriptive instruction. People looking for help with family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, or the strains of combining households often find concrete ways to manage next steps in therapy. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches that inform online sessions
Client-centered work means the therapist starts with what matters most to the person and follows that lead. This approach helps clarify priorities and keeps sessions focused on practical concerns such as managing blended household routines or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change thought patterns that increase anxiety or conflict. CBT offers concrete tools for handling stress, improving communication, and tackling unhelpful beliefs about roles in a new family structure.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas help people recognize strong emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. EFT-informed work can be useful for handling loyalty conflicts, grief, and intense reactions that come up during family transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps the individual meet their needs. That collaborative process is meant to fit the client’s preferences and daily life.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that video or phone sessions let them continue therapy even when routines are crowded or changing.
