About Lorraine

Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of the next step. She introduces a calm, steady presence so clients can sort priorities and begin to act. Lorrie is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Colorado and has worked in helping roles for many years.

Her approach starts with whatever matters most to the client in the moment. Sessions focus on listening first, then helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She coaches clients to strengthen self-esteem, manage anxiety and stress, and find clearer direction at work and in life.

Lorrie uses practical tools drawn from cognitive strategies and mindfulness to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide conversations about feelings and connection. Motivational interviewing helps when clients want to make changes but feel uncertain how to begin.

She also offers support around parenting, grief, relationship problems, caregiver strain, and issues tied to adoption and blended family dynamics. Body image, codependency, and midlife transitions are other common topics she addresses.

People who appreciate a collaborative, client-led pace report that sessions help them find their own voice. Lorrie frames the work as guidance and coaching toward choices clients already sense are possible. She encourages small steps that build confidence over time.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers, which can help with uncertainty, low self-esteem, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It teaches concrete skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking, which can reduce anxiety and improve coping with stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with emotions to improve connection and self-understanding. This approach can be useful for resolving relationship tension and processing grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and tailor methods that fit their situation. That may mean blending listening, skill building, and emotion-focused exercises over time.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography did not list specific options. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter mid-day check-in. Different formats can help people who prefer to be off camera, need a quick phone conversation, or want a regular scheduled session that works around work and family demands.
