About Lorraine
Lorraine Landau is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor based in New York. She brings 30 years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, sleeping and eating concerns, and ADHD. Lorraine speaks English, Spanish, French, and Hebrew and offers services to international clients.
Her sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify small changes that make a difference.
Background and approach
Lorraine works with individuals to set realistic targets and track progress in ways that fit their daily lives. Over three decades she has supported people managing chronic health issues, cancer, and pain, as well as those coping with life transitions like divorce and blended family adjustments. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, body image concerns, and substance-related difficulties.
Her background includes work with aging and geriatric issues and several personality and mood conditions. In appointments she aims to create a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk through what matters most. Sessions blend short-term problem solving with attention to longer-term patterns when useful.
Lorraine adapts her approach to each person’s needs and language preference. Practical matters are handled plainly: services are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.
Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on finding practical steps that move people toward their goals. It focuses on strengths and small changes people can try between sessions, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and everyday life challenges.Sessions can also be brief and goal-oriented when needed, concentrating on what works now rather than only on the past. That approach helps people who want clear, actionable progress while still allowing space to address longer-term patterns when they arise.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorraine will work with each person to decide whether Solution-Focused work, a more exploratory path, or a mix of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, travel schedules, or busy home routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
