About Lorraine
Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a Colorado LMFT with 13 years listed experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She works with common life stresses and relationship difficulties, including anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
Lorrie focuses on helping people reconnect to their own voice. She starts sessions by following what the client brings and by listening for the issue that feels most urgent. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps so people can begin to notice small changes quickly.
Her approach blends several methods. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is one of the approaches she lists for working with emotions and relational patterns. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective and cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Lorrie incorporates mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing techniques to support decision-making and increase present-moment awareness. The biography also notes use of Emotional Freedom Technique, sometimes called tapping, which she has used for stress, anxiety, and chronic pain concerns.
She has a long history in helping roles and describes her work as guiding clients toward the next practical step they already sense. People who want conversational, goal-focused therapy that pays attention to feelings and behavior may find this approach fits their needs.
How Lorrie blends emotion work and practical tools for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is one approach she lists for helping people name and work through difficult emotions and relationship patterns. EFT focuses on identifying feelings and how those feelings shape interactions and internal responses.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and priorities. Sessions using this approach involve listening closely, reflecting what is said, and supporting the client to find their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and introduces small experiments to change them; it can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorrie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion guides whether the focus leans more toward emotion processing, thought-focused skills, mindfulness, or coaching-style questions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If a person prefers phone check-ins, video meetings, or another arrangement, verify which formats are offered when scheduling so sessions match everyday life and practical constraints.
