Lorraine Asti

Lorraine Asti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical, goal-oriented therapy. She draws on cognitive and behavioral approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood shifts, and relationship difficulties. Lorraine writes plainly with people in mind who want clear tools and steady support.

She uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she builds trust and keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her.

Her background includes eight years as a practicing LCSW in New York. That experience covers a broad range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and compassion fatigue. Lorraine also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, and chronic illness or pain.

In sessions she aims to be straightforward and compassionate. Lorraine helps people set small, manageable goals and practices skills between meetings. She encourages collaboration so the plan reflects someone’s priorities and daily life.

To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take committed steps toward them even when feelings are difficult. It often focuses on practical actions and simple daily experiments to build momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and aims to build more secure ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and lifestyle. She adapts tools from different models so sessions reflect the client’s needs and what they want to accomplish.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as session formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the routines where problems arise and bring real-life examples to the session. Licensed professionals can help tailor session frequency and exercises to match daily life and commitments.
