About Lorraine
Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by life demands. Lorrie listens first and follows what matters most to each person in session.
She aims to help clients reconnect with themselves and find clearer direction. Sessions concentrate on practical steps and on restoring a sense of voice and choice. Lorrie uses everyday language and invites people to try approaches that feel useful for them.
Over her career she has worked with concerns such as self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting strain. She also pays attention to adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and relationship communication problems.
Her clinical tools include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and practice new ways of relating and coping.
People often start by naming the one thing they want to change. Lorrie helps translate that desire into small steps and long-term plans. She brings 13 years as an LMFT to this work and aims to meet each person where they are.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and following what matters most to the client; online sessions provide a space to be heard and to decide goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed remotely. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions and patterns in relationships, useful when working through communication or attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That plan can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work also lets people practice skills in their usual routines and bring real situations into session for feedback and planning.
