About Lorraine
Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is an LMFT who focuses on helping people rebuild a sense of self and calm when life feels overwhelming. She speaks plainly, listens closely, and starts where each person is. Lorrie aims to help clients notice what matters most and make practical steps toward those changes.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and relationship patterns, and uses Client-Centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person's priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools and mindfulness practices are used to address stress, anxiety, and negative thinking. Motivational Interviewing helps people find the drive to make changes they want. Clients often bring concerns such as low self-esteem, work or career questions, major life transitions, parenting strain, grief, or burnout.
Lorrie also helps with family of origin issues, blended family stress, adoption and foster care topics, body image, and caregiving pressures. She uses clear, simple techniques rather than jargon so people can take steps between sessions.
With 13 years of experience as an LMFT in Colorado, she pairs practical coaching skills with therapy to support goals from small habits to larger life shifts. Sessions focus on what the client names as most important, and Lorrie guides them toward their own next steps. Her approach is collaborative and steady.
She works to create a space where clients can speak honestly and practice new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and transitions.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and patterns in relationships. In online sessions this often means noticing how feelings come up in session and using that information to shift unhelpful patterns or stuck reactions.Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's goals and experience, with the therapist following the client's lead. Online formats can make it easy to focus on what matters most in each session, whether that is problem solving, reflection, or emotional processing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small changes. This approach works well online through short skill-building exercises, between-session homework, and regular check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That may mean blending approaches or trying different tools until something fits.
Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into a busy life.
