Lorinda Stark is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, and life transitions. She welcomes direct conversation about tough topics like addiction, grief, trauma, and feeling stuck. Her style is conversational and practical, aimed at making the next step feel manageable.
She focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters most. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small changes that add up over time. She encourages honest feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant to daily life.
With six years of experience as an LCSW in Tennessee, she has worked with people struggling with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and challenges that come with aging and hospice situations. She also supports those coping with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, and attention differences such as ADHD.
Her approach draws on a few practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when emotions are difficult. Motivational Interviewing is used to boost readiness for change when people feel stuck.
People often come for help with communication problems, control issues, codependency concerns, or guilt and shame. Lorinda aims to help clients find clearer priorities, better coping skills, and more satisfying daily routines. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match their values even when emotions are hard. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to change day-to-day patterns. It is useful for anxiety, obsessions, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That exploration can include trying an approach for several sessions and adjusting the plan based on what feels most helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or phone choices depending on what works best for a given day. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques effectively in remote sessions, focusing on practical skills you can use between meetings.
