About Lorraine
Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) licensed in Colorado with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are juggling parenting, relationship strain, career shifts, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and family concerns. Lorrie also works with issues such as adoption and foster care, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, and body image.
She begins by listening to what matters most to the person in the room. Sessions focus on the immediate concern the client brings. Lorrie helps clients name what feels loudest and then looks for practical steps forward. She encourages reconnection to personal values and clearer choices amid busy family life.
Lorrie draws from client-centered ways of working and cognitive strategies to notice patterns that keep people stuck. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings and connections affect relationships. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools are woven in to support decision-making and stress management.
Her background includes long experience in helping adults facing life transitions and parenting stress. She has also worked with people dealing with grief, codependency, communication problems, and separation. The practice aims for straightforward talk and manageable steps rather than long theory sessions.
People who come when they feel overwhelmed by family roles often work on clearer boundaries, better communication, and practical coping plans. Lorrie frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide each session.
How sessions work
How Lorrie blends proven approaches for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs to clarify values, priorities, or what matters most at home. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going and gives concrete skills to change those patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people pay attention to feelings and relationship patterns that affect how they connect with others.Finding the right combination is part of the work. Lorrie approaches this collaboratively and will discuss which methods make sense based on a person's goals, history, and how they prefer to work. Together they pick tools and steps that fit day-to-day life and the challenges someone brings.
Session format details are not provided here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let clients join from more convenient locations. Different formats can also suit different needs - shorter check-ins, sessions without video when bandwidth is limited, or longer talks when more time is needed - and those practical choices are discussed when arranging appointments.
