About Lorraine
Lorraine Latchman is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Colorado with six years of experience. She focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and compassion fatigue. Lorraine also lists work with guilt and shame among other concerns she addresses.
Lorraine emphasizes how early family patterns and attachment wounds shape adult relationships and self-view. She frames many struggles as intergenerational - harms passed down through family and community systems. That perspective shapes how she talks about what people carry rather than labeling them as broken.
Her approach draws on attachment theory and the Community and Trauma Resiliency Model. She also uses a decolonizing lens to recognize cultural and systemic forces that affect grief and shame. Sessions are meant to look at root causes and everyday patterns that keep painful feelings active.
In practical terms she helps people notice the masks they use to get by and the numbness that follows. Conversations focus on being seen, naming the ache, and working with feelings that come from relationships and culture. She aims to help people uncover how past wounds show up now.
Lorraine invites people who feel weighed down by guilt, shame, or the lingering effects of trauma to explore these issues with a counselor who centers connection and context. If someone is unsure where to begin, she guides the initial steps and asks about what matters most to them.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lorraine draws on attachment theory to help people notice patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current behavior. This approach involves talking through past relational experiences and their present-day effects, which can help when guilt or shame is tied to connections with others.She also uses the Community and Trauma Resiliency Model, which offers practical skills to manage stress responses and grounding strategies. Those skills are taught in short, repeatable steps that can be practiced between sessions to reduce daily overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying different techniques and checking in about what helps most.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid the need to be on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to carry learning into daily routines and make consistent progress without changing other commitments.
