Lorraine Asti

Lorraine Asti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She brings eight years of professional experience helping people who face stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, trauma, depression, and other life challenges. Lorraine uses straightforward, practical techniques to help clients manage emotions and make changes they want to see.

Her work combines several therapy styles to match each person's needs. Lorraine draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment strategies to help people focus on values and small steps. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to build trust and work from the client's experience.

Clients often seek her for a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and career transitions. Lorraine also addresses complex situations like co-occurring conditions, chronic illness, codependency, and personality-related challenges by tailoring goals and pacing.

Sessions focus on clear, achievable skills and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Lorraine aims to create a space where people can talk honestly, learn coping tools, and practice new ways of responding. Progress is tracked with small, practical steps that fit day-to-day life.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and practicing new responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or conflict make daily life hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorraine will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, temperament, and routine. She treats this as a collaborative plan that can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use audio-only options if bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these arrangements to keep work consistent with everyday schedules and to focus on building skills and managing strong emotions.
