About Lorraine
Lorraine Gonzalez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York, holding LCSW-R and LCSW credentials, with 15 years of professional experience.

Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. She listens for what matters most and helps people sort through thoughts and reactions that keep them stuck.
Lorraine adapts the pace and focus to each person. This can mean working on communication patterns, coping strategies for anxiety, or ways to manage ADHD-related challenges. She also helps people reckon with old hurts, forgiveness, and persistent self-blame.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on mood, stress, and relationships. Progress often looks like clearer choices, steadier day-to-day routines, and more confidence in handling difficult conversations.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Lorraine accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling steps so you know which format will be used.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, teachable skills and real-life practice. One common approach she uses centers on building coping strategies for stress and anxiety, such as breathing techniques, activity scheduling, and breaking problems into smaller steps. These methods help when worries or tension interfere with daily life.Another approach targets relationship patterns and communication. Work here looks at how people react in close relationships, identifies recurring interaction habits, and practices different responses to improve connection and reduce conflict. This can also address guilt and shame tied to past interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most, and clients are involved in planning their next steps.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Since formats vary, check the current options and scheduling details when you book.
