About Lorraine
Lorraine Kenowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and life changes. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Kenowski centers sessions on the person in front of her. She treats each client as the expert on their own life. Conversations focus on practical steps and on recognizing existing strengths that can be used to manage hard moments. Sessions move at a deliberate, steady pace so people can think through options without rush.
Her background includes long-term work supporting career concerns, self-esteem issues, and motivation. She uses methods drawn from client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns and try alternative actions. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are also part of her toolbox when someone needs concrete techniques for stress and emotion regulation.
People who choose her often want straightforward guidance, skills to manage daily pressure, and a place to talk through parenting challenges or difficult relationships with parents or partners. Lorraine explains options clearly and helps each person pick practical next steps.
She practices in Connecticut and offers sessions in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit their needs.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients decide practical next steps that fit their lives.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online CBT typically involves setting clear goals, trying small behavior changes between sessions, and reviewing what worked to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication. When helpful, online sessions teach breathing, grounding, and interpersonal techniques that can be practiced between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will pick methods to try. That collaborative process helps focus sessions on what matters most to the client.
If you prefer to meet remotely, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling and practical needs during the matching process so sessions fit your routine.
