About Lorraine
Lorraine Asti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings eight years of experience to her practice in New York. She uses a straightforward, person-centered approach that helps people untangle stressful patterns and build clearer ways of coping. Lorraine listens carefully and works with each person to set goals they can use in daily life.
She often blends cognitive-behavioral methods with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Lorraine also uses attachment-based thinking to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Dialectical behavior tools are added when people need concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Clients come with a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy struggles, and codependency. Lorraine also supports people dealing with ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and issues tied to commitment or control. She talks through practical steps for sleeping, eating, parenting, and work-life challenges.
The approach is collaborative and tailored to a person's goals. Lorraine explains options plainly and helps people choose strategies they can try between sessions. Her style aims to be warm, direct, and focused on real-life changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her New York licensure as an LCSW. People who want to begin fill out a matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
How her approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings and still move toward the life they value. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency by shifting focus toward chosen actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning; it often helps with worry, sleep, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present patterns and can guide work on intimacy, trust, and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their goals and day-to-day needs. She explains options, tries different tools, and adjusts the plan based on what helps in practice.
