About Lorraine
Lorraine Asti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience helping people cope with anger, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She works in New York and focuses on practical, down-to-earth support that people can use right away. Conversations are direct and compassionate, aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day functioning.
She blends approaches to fit each person's needs. That can mean learning skills to manage intense feelings, shifting unhelpful thinking patterns, or practicing values-based choices that make life more meaningful.
Background and approach
Sessions are focused and collaborative so people leave with clear steps to try between meetings. Her background includes work with mood and personality concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and challenges like sleep or eating problems. Lorraine has experience addressing ADHD, caregiver stress, and issues such as codependency and control patterns.
This range helps her draw on different methods when a person’s needs cross several areas. In session she uses evidence-informed techniques like cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also integrates attachment-based and client-centered ways of working to strengthen relationships and self-understanding.
The emphasis is on practical tools and steady progress rather than jargon. Therapy can be delivered by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Lorraine aims to help people build skills, clarify goals, and navigate changes with less distress.

Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and making changes that matter over the long term. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems like depression, anxiety, and sleep issues going. It teaches concrete skills to test new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and collaboratively decide which methods to use. That lets sessions stay focused on what the person wants to change, whether that is managing intense emotions, improving relationships, or building daily routines.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when they want that interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Chat and texting are helpful for brief coaching, checking progress, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into real life while still using evidence-informed approaches.
