Lorinda Stark , LCSW

Lorinda Stark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with six years of professional experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and the emotional strain of caregiving and life changes. Lorinda also supports people dealing with grief, ADHD, family conflict, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Conversations often include looking at unhelpful thinking, identifying values that matter, and building small habits that reduce overwhelm.

Lorinda draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. She uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is feeling stuck or unsure about change.

She emphasizes working at a pace that fits daily life and responsibilities. Parents or adult children worried about family tensions or caregiving stress will find a pragmatic focus on communication and coping strategies. Lorinda makes space for honest talk about shame, guilt, and the ongoing strain of caring roles.

Clients complete a short questionnaire when they begin, and sessions move from assessment to focused skill-building. The aim is to reduce day-to-day distress and increase confidence in handling difficult situations.
