About Lorraine
Lorraine LaPorte is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with three years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood challenges like bipolar disorder. Lorraine also supports those coping with addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and career or relationship stress.
She uses a blend of practical, evidence-based methods. Sessions are conversational and direct. Lorraine helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and build skills to manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to make it easy to talk about hard things and to find realistic next steps. Many sessions focus on building communication skills, setting boundaries, and improving self-care habits.
In addition to core concerns, Lorraine addresses attachment issues, codependency, control and dependent personality traits, and body image worries. She also helps people facing divorce or separation, career shifts, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Therapy typically includes short-term skill work and longer conversations about patterns that keep people stuck.
Lorraine invites clients to experiment with new ways of coping and to notice what works in daily life. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better ways of relating to others.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are strong. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT often helps with depression, anxiety, and behavior change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections; it can support people working through trust, communication, and closeness issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorraine will discuss your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. The aim is to find practical tools that fit your life and to build them into everyday routines.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone works well for lower bandwidth or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief updates, coping prompts, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping focus on making steady progress.
