About Lorraine
Lorraine Kenowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with over three decades of experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, career struggles, and parenting concerns. Lorraine centers the conversation on each person's strengths and goals.
She aims to make the first steps toward change feel clear and achievable. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-solving, skill-building, and attention to how thoughts and actions connect. Lorraine uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help manage overwhelming thinking and strong emotions. She also draws on client-centered and motivational approaches to keep work grounded in what matters most to the person in the room.
Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. The overall style is practical, warm, and focused on everyday changes that add up over time. Many people look to her for help navigating grief, trauma responses, intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, seasonal mood shifts, and issues tied to aging.
She is comfortable addressing challenges connected to veteran experiences and women’s life transitions. Her goal is to help people find clearer paths forward and build coping skills they can use outside of sessions.

Approaches to try in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions, which can be useful for building confidence and decision making. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and patterns and often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their situation and goals. She may combine techniques and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and everyday life. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats help people keep continuity of care, fit sessions into work or caregiving routines, and try different ways of connecting until the right match is found.
