About Lorraine
Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a Colorado LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years as an LMFT and more than three decades in helping roles. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, parenting, grief, career shifts, and family of origin issues. Lorrie also supports people facing caregiver strain, adoption and foster care questions, blended family challenges, and life changes that leave them unsure of the next step.
Lorrie builds sessions around what a client brings. She listens for the concern that feels most urgent and helps people find clearer direction from there. Sessions focus on practical steps, new ways of seeing old patterns, and learning to name and use one’s own voice in decisions about relationships and work.
Her approach mixes client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally-focused techniques. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of the work when they suit a person’s goals. These tools are used to address things like communication problems, codependency, control issues, and feelings of emptiness.
Clients dealing with adoption and foster care themes, blended family dynamics, or family-of-origin patterns will find a therapist who brings steady, practical support. Lorrie helps people sort through expectations learned in childhood and decide what to keep, what to change, and how to communicate those choices.
She asks new clients to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Lorrie uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It aims to help people name their priorities and make choices that reflect their values. This approach is useful for addressing family expectations and deciding what to change in adult relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and build different habits. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms that get in the way of daily life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and how they shape connection with others. It can help people understand attachment patterns and improve communication around close relationships and caregiving roles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorrie will discuss these methods with each person and decide together which tools fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings into a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use these same approaches in remote sessions to address family patterns, stress, and life changes.
