Lorraine "Lorrie" Urbaniak is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado. She aims to help people who feel stuck by focusing on what matters most to them. Lorrie talks plainly and follows the client's lead to find clear next steps. She has 13 years of practice as an LMFT and long experience in helping people navigate life changes, including midlife transitions.

She draws on approaches that help people reconnect with themselves and regain direction. Sessions often focus on identifying priorities, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and practicing steps that build confidence. Lorrie also combines mindfulness and emotionally focused ways of working to address stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns.

Her background includes long experience in counseling and a professional credential as an LMFT. That experience informs a practical style that centers the client’s goals. She also has training in life coaching and tools that some clients find helpful for stress reduction.

In therapy she listens first and uses the client’s own priorities to guide the process. People who want a straightforward, steady approach to problems such as career uncertainty, parenting strain, grief, or a midlife crisis may find this style useful. Lorrie helps people identify concrete actions to try between sessions.

She works with challenges like low self esteem, codependency, family of origin issues, and caregiver stress. Conversations aim to clarify what matters and to build realistic ways forward. The focus is on practical steps rather than labels or judgment.

How Lorrie's Methods Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience. The therapist listens closely and follows what feels most pressing, helping clients name their priorities and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior. It offers practical strategies and exercises to test assumptions and reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to feelings in relationships and helps people express needs more clearly and repair connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they decide which combination of methods to try. This collaborative process allows adjustments as needs change or new challenges appear.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, and keep momentum between appointments. They also allow a mix of homework, brief check-ins, and focused exercises that map to CBT, mindfulness, and emotionally focused work. Licensed professionals can help tailor each session to practical daily life and scheduling realities, so therapy fits into real routines rather than adding burden.
